YS CAPT. HENRY KERBY, M.P. | ~~ known of the ‘brother- hood’ of perverted men ? “There have been other cases of flagrant homosexuality in the British Foreign Service which have been covered up.” ‘Notorious’ ——— Captain Kerby maln- tains that Burgess and Maclean were “known as drunks and sex per- verts for years.” He sald: “It 1s not as Mf their homosexual activities were known only to a handful of people, “They were notorious perverts, Thay were known as euch in Lon- don, Cairo and Wash- ington. “Why, in answer to a question in the House, | dig the Minister of State, Mr. Anthony Nufting, refuse to admit or deny that these men were homosexuals? I believe he could not deny the fact, “T have reason to belteve that’ there are still many people of this ilk today in the Foreign Service. “Why does the White Paper make no mention of their sex perversion ? “It is ome of the keys to the Birgess-Maclean scandal that these men were notorious perverts. “The British people are still denied the names of those Foreign Office officiats who shielded both traitors during their service, ‘Tell Public’ “We are denied the names of those respons- ible for appointing them to their last and vital posts. “Why ? Their names should be made public in Parliament. “T hope that the White Paper will be dabated fully in Parliamen}, and that the searching light of a Public Inquiry (under ‘a High Court judge) will be thrown on it. “We must probe the full and concealed ramifications of the Burgess and Maclean scandal. Tradition —_ “Thus alone can we at least try to ensure that something similar does not happen again. “On present form— with evasions and non- accountable anonymity —it CAN and WILL. “The archaic tradi- tion of Ministers man- fully shouldering re- sponsibility and shield- fng Civil Servagts at the Foreign Office ts ABSURD and DAN- GEROUS.”
