Politicians seek to influence anyone and everyone, including by writing letters. It is hardly surprising that a Defence Secretary would write to the SRA about this matter, even if we think he shouldn't have done so.

What matters is how the SRA responded. They should have responded politely. They should have said they would investigate a serious allegation. They shouldn't have bowed to pressure from a politician on an individual case by making promises about the outcome.

I haven't see the correspondence. Does it go further than the above?
