When the BBC discovered that a British civil servant illegally supplied Israel with plutonium without government approval, it made sure that the ethnic identity of the culprit was made known in a not-too-subtle way.

Few of us are under any illusion about the power wielded by senior civil servants - we just don't get to see it up close.

But tonight Newsnight's Michael Crick and producer Meirion Jones have an astonishing exclusive story about how Britain supplied Israel with plutonium during Harold Wilson's government, despite a warning from British intelligence that the material could help Israel get the atom bomb.

But it was done without ministers' knowledge, by a civil servant in Tony Benn's Ministry of Technology, Michael Michaels, whose full name was Michael Israel Michaels. [emphasis added]

We never sold anybody weapons-grade fuel. And we made sure to put our reactors where the Israelis could easily reach them...
