Permanent Establishment of an Inter-Services Security Board

1 Feb 1940

General Staff. If this is done, the two organisations could be linked together, and the necessary collaboration ensured by an interchange of information, or by joint meetings to deal with a special situation, and by means of a French representative in London and a British representative in Paris. 10. Summary. To sum up:We consider that, both because of the need for a properly constituted Inter-Services Security Board to be in operation at the time that the planning for any specific operation is begun, and because there appears to be a definite need for work which can only be undertaken by such a Board, even when no preparations for specific operations are being made, it is most desirable that a permanently constituted Inter-Services Security Board should be established, and that close co-operation between this body and any similar organisation which may be established by the French, should be ensured by means of an exchange of liaison officers.
