About Alex Allan in brief
Sir Alexander Claud Stuart Allan KCB is a senior British civil servant. He was, until 2011, the chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee and Head of Intelligence Assessment for Her Majesty’s Government. He resigned as the Prime Minister’s Independent advisor on ministerial standards in November 2020. Allan is the son of Robert Allan, Baron Allan of Kilmahew. Between 1964 and 1969 Allan was educated at Harrow School, followed by obtaining a BA degree in Mathematics from Clare College, Cambridge in 1972. In 1973 he also received an MSc degree in Statistics from University College London. Allan was appointed Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in the 2012 New Year Honours.
In July 2008 it was reported that Allan was unconscious and seriously ill in hospital after he collapsed at home. On 10 July 2008 a Cabinet spokesman said Allan had regained consciousness but would remain in hospital to regain his strength. It has been suggested by the media that he was poisoned by one of several organisations, including Al Qaeda, including the Russian Government, but this was dismissed by New Scotland Yard. In 2012 he said to a public administration committee of MPs that if ever he was ‘bypassed’ he would step down.
