TOP SECRET GUARD THE COMMITTEE:(1) Agreed in principle to the re-organisation of B.I.O.(G) on the lines proposed in the report. BRITISH FORCES SECURITY UNIT (B.F.S.U.) THE COMMITTEE then considered the British Forces Security Unit in detail and the following points were made in discussion:Sections 1 and 2 (Interrogation of refugees and interception of communications) It was noted that B.I.O.(G) were concerned at the smallness of the staffs proposed for these tasks.
