Under pressure from the Wright-Wallace-Massiter revelations of the 80s, they had conceded a notional form of parliamentary accountability with the creation of the Intelligence and Security Committee.

... wrote of how the NKVD agent Arnold Deutsch recruited Klugmann, 'codenamed MER.... as a talent-spotter, recommending other suitable candidates from his acquaintances, such as John Cairncross'.2 But whereas these accounts could be dismissed, effectively marginalised, as the work of the Party's enemies, Andrews' exploration of Klugmann's involvement in intelligence work for the Soviets is absolutely conclusive. Andrews begins his biography with an account of Klugmann's meeting with a Cambridge friend who was working at the Foreign Office at the time, John Cairncross. They met in Regent's Park in the spring of 1937, where Klugmann introduced Cairncross to Deutsch, who was charged with his recruitment as a spy ...

... tell us something about the "national strategy " referred to in the 1981 Report of the Chief Inspector of Constabulary, and the "National Standards Manual" referred to in the 1982 Annual Report of the Chief Constable of Kent.

Why did the British state refuse to extradite Anton Gecas, the WW2 Lithuanian war criminal, to the Soviet Union in 1976? Turns out not only had Gecas worked for SIS at the end of WW2, he'd worked for Special Branch in the 1970s, snitching on the miners during the miners' strike of 1974! A report in the Edinburgh daily paper, The Scotsman (15 January), said: 'Although Gecas was named ...
