(e) (f) COMMENTS 6. (a) (b) (c) (d) TOP SECRET The necessary liaison over Evasion and Escape planning with M.I.6 and friendly foreign clandestine agencies is more easily arranged on an Army basis. Clandestine agencies with whom a field escape unit has to deal are normally Army sponsored, although often joint-Service in character. The Army provides the necessary administrative Services and organisation to support Evasion and Escape units in the field. We emphasise that although M.I.9 is a War Office responsibility, it is a joint-Service staff and arranges for the implementation of the Evasion and Escape requirements of all three Services.
