 FJ wrote to Golitsyn:

You are invited by the Heads of both Services to visit the UK in order to assist them with problems of penetration of British Intelligence.

. . . On the basis of their past research the Security Service intend to provide you with briefs covering the individuals who have fallen within their field of scrutiny in the context of penetration. These briefs will cover a wider area than the limited proposals discussed between yourself and Mr Wright in November last year. Each case will be identified by a serial number but the full names of the individual concerned will be supplied on request . . . The briefs which will be supplied initially will be prepared in summary form . . .

Memorandum of Understanding [with Golitsyn], May 1970, Security Service Archives. There is no indication that Golitsyn was ever allowed to see the original Records of Service.

 Elsa Bernaut was the widow of the Soviet illegal Ignace Poretsky (also known as Reiss), who had been assassinated after defecting in 1937. In a bizarre and bullying interview with Bernaut in 1970, Wright perversely suggested that, though she had ‘muddled up' the dates, there was a reference in her memoirs to Ignace Reiss using Philby as a penetration agent. ‘This', noted Wright with evident self-satisfaction, ‘was entirely the right tactic. She blew up and was angry with me.' Security Services Archives.

 Cunningham and Hollis agreed that ‘The proposal would also mean that the Director General would be deprived of the advice which he was able to get from the PUS Home Office, which had been so strongly advocated by Sir Norman Brook, for Colonel Wigg who would be located in No. 10 would have no staff who could give such advice.'

 After a kerb-crawling episode in 1976, Wigg (then seventy-six years old) was found not guilty by the magistrate of using insulting behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace on the grounds that kerb- crawling at that period was not in itself an offence. The police officer who gave evidence against Wigg referred to a previous occasion on which he had found him kerb-crawling and given him a warning. The officer also said that Wigg was known to officers of the Vice Squad covering the Hilton Hotel. ‘Kerb-Crawling Lord Wigg Stopped Six Women, Says PC',

 When Gordon Walker made the proposal late in 1961, he was unaware that Clarke had attracted D2's attention in 1959 as a result of his contacts with officials at the Czechoslovak embassy, one of whom was believed to be an StB officer. When interviewed by D2 in February 1962, however, Clarke ‘gave a full account of his contacts with SovBloc officials in London. He was cooperative and made a good impression.'
