Kim Philby: new revelations about spy emerge in secret files

Kim Philby: new revelations about spy emerge in secret files Owen Bowcott and Caroline Davies © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: PA Fears that the double agent Kim Philby was being exploited by the KGB prompted a government campaign to minimise political embarrassment and prevent his memoirs being published, according to secret files released to the National Archives. Details of pressure put on journalists, behind the scenes lobbying and attempts to deflect blame on to the French appear in 1960s Cabinet Office files. The news that Philby, a former MI6 officer, had been spying for the Russians since 1933 sounded an alarm in Whitehall. Shortly after the extent of Philby’s penetration was publicised in October 1967, the home secretary, Roy Jenkins, wrote to the prime minister, Harold Wilson, warning it could lead to the exposure of another mole, Sir Anthony Blunt.

How Edward Heath taking a bath exposed Chequers lax security

How Edward Heath taking a bath exposed Chequers lax security Caroline Davies and Owen Bowcott © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Popperfoto Security at Chequers during Edward Heath’s time as prime minister was so lax one government adviser accidentally stumbled into a room and saw him getting into the bath, newly released National Archives documents reveal. Victor Rothschild fired off a complaint to the cabinet secretary, Sir Burke Trend, complaining he was allowed inside the prime minister’s country manor house without anyone bothering to check his identity or vehicle. “I wonder, however, whether anyone, even if he has been identified should be allowed to roam about inside Chequers,” Lord Rothschild wrote in 1971. “I wanted to find a little table and went into the first bedroom outside the room where the meeting was held. The prime minister, who I hope did not see me, was about to get into the bath.”
