(Reuters) - Britain's special envoy for the Gulf Edward Lister is leaving his role and departing the government after facing increasing scrutiny from the press over his work in the private sector, the Telegraph reported on Friday.
Lister was appointed as the special envoy for the Gulf in February and was also appointed as chief of staff for an interim period prior to that.
