Subjects covered in this file include the application of British security classifications; Soviet anti-British propaganda in the Middle East; beach reconnaissance in the Levant; manpower reductions among service attachés; the security of Allied deception operations in the Second World War; the provision of linguists for British intelligence; the admission of Soviet and satellite deserters and defectors into the United Kingdom; security arrangements for visits to the U.K. by Soviet officials; cover plans for biological weapons testing; and the effects of radioactivity on pigeons.
