The Service Functions of Enemy Branch (Foreign Office and Ministry of Economic Warfare) Note by Sec.

1 Apr 1944

SECRET THE SERVICE FUNCTIONS OF ENEMY BRANCH INTRODUCTION 1. Enemy Branch (F.O. and M.E.W.) collates all current economic intelligence received by H.M. Government, including some which it itself collects; analyses and supplements this by a variety of processes; and makes the result available to all departments concerned. Chief among these are the Service departments. 2. Enemy Branch is not an inter-Service organisation in constitution, since it is not controlled or staffed by the Service departments; but it is an inter-Service organisation in function, in that it is chiefly occupied in providing intelligence and appreciations which the Services require but which their own Intelligence directorates are not organised to provide.
