The Sub-Committee examined the draft Charter for the Combined Middle East Intelligence Centre, attached as Annex I to Paper No. J.I.C. 106. This draft Charter was examined paragraph by paragraph. Some discussion took place on the question of the control of the proposed Intelligence Centre in the Middle East. BRIGADIER BEAUMONT-NESBITT said that there might be some criticism of placing the Centre under the direction and control of the Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee in Whitehall. On the other hand, he felt that if the Centre were placed under the control of the Commanders in the Middle East its view would become localised and it would never become the outpost of the Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee in Whitehall which it was so desirable that it should be.
