On March 26, 1981 Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, the British<br >prime minister, announced that her government was to set up<br >an inquiry into the defenses of the security and intelligence<br >departments against penetration by spies. It would be the<br >first independent inquiry into this situation for twenty years,<br >and it would also cover the Foreign Office, Home Office,<br > Defence Ministry, and other departments of state harboring<br > sensitive information.<br > The prime minister made this announcement as part of a<br > long statement about the original British edition of this book,<br > which had been published that day, and as a direct conse-<br > quence of various disclosures it contained. In her statement,<br > the prime minister confirmed that Sir Roger Hollis, a long-<br > serving director general of MI5, had been deeply suspected<br > by some of his own colleagues of having been a Russian<br > agent, perhaps for nearly thirty years. The suspicion was so<br > great that Sir Roger had failed to dispel it wh~l~ called back<br > from retirement in 1970 and fully interrogated. So, in 1974, a<br > further inquiry, to settle the issue if possible, had been set up.<br >i in great secrecy. A former secretary of the Cabinet, Lord<br >[ Trend, had been asked to undertake it- and had spent a year<br > doing so. Before the publication of this book, the public had<br >| known nothing of what has since become known as the Hollis<br >Affair or of the Trend Inquiry.<br > <br ><br >
