Denning Defends Security Service in Ward Affair
Lord Denning says Security Service operations serve defense and that responsibility for Profumo affair lies with Ministerial actions. He notes Ward was described as naive, with influential friends, and that the service should not determine Miss Keeler’s relationship with Profumo. Government machinery was not at fault.
