Clive Ponting

Clive Sheridan Ponting (born 13 April 1946)〔Richard Norton-Taylor, "The Ponting Affair", Cecil Woolf, London, 1985, p. 14.〕 is a former senior civil servant, best known for leaking documents about the sinking of the ''Belgrano'' in the Falklands War.〔(BBC, On this day, 16 February 1985, ''Falklands' row civil servant resigns'' ).
At the time of his resignation from the civil service in 1985, he was a Grade 5 (assistant secretary) earning £23,000 per year.〕 He is the author of a number of revisionist〔''The China-Burma-India Campaign, 1931-1945: Historiography and Annotated Bibliography '' by Eugene L. Rasor, pub Greenwood, 1998, p91
''Hi Hitler;;, by Gavriel D. Rosenfeld, pub Cambridge University Press, 2014, p34.〕 books on British and world history.
==The 'General Belgrano'==
While a senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Clive Ponting sent two documents to Labour MP Tam Dalyell in July 1984 concerning the sinking of an Argentine navy warship ''General Belgrano'', a key incident in the Falklands War of 1982. Ponting admitted revealing the information and was charged with a criminal offence under Section 2 of the Official Secrets Act of 1911. His defence was that the matter and its disclosure to a Member of Parliament was in the public interest.〔(BBC ), ''Clive Ponting case: Where is the investigators' report?'', by Martin Rosenbaun, 18 March 2011.〕 This was the first case under the Official Secrets Act that involved giving information to Parliament. Although Ponting expected to be imprisoned he was acquitted by the jury. The acquittal came despite the judge's direction to the jury that Ponting's official duty was not to disclose the information, and that "the public interest is what the government of the day says it is". The judge, Sir Anthony McCowan, "had indicated that the jury should convict him." Ponting resigned from the civil service on 16 February 1985.
