A volume of secretariat minutes of the Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee (JIC). The JIC was formed of representatives from the intelligence services, the armed services, and the Foreign Office.

Secretariat minutes were used to pass documents such as JIC sub-committee and working party reports and intelligence assessments to JIC members. Subjects covered in this file include the suspected use of biological weapons by German and Japanese forces; intelligence priorities in post-war Europe; intelligence objectives in Soviet-occupied areas; information sharing with the Soviet and Chinese intelligence services; the organisation of British intelligence in India; security issues relating to post-war demobilisation; the need for more Japanese speakers in East Asia; Allied policy on the release of German prisoners held in North America; and the danger of mistreatment of Allied prisoners by German guards in the event of a German collapse.
