It was only when Geoffrey Robertson QC, counsel for Paul Henderson, against the advice of counsel for the other two defendants, brought out Henderson's links with MI6 that the judge ordered disclosure of documents relating to the security services, having earlier, after Alan Clark's sensational evidence, allowed only disclosure of documents relating to policy-making within government departments.

Most disturbing of all, however, for the CIA, was Goleniewski's claim that the East Bloc intelligence services were receiving timely information from a source or sources within the CIA itself.
