87. Mr. Lipton

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty who has been appointed as Director of Security in his Department; and what are his qualifications for this position.

Mr. C. Ian Orr-Ewing

Colonel Macafee has the necessary background and experience for this post. He has served as a Provost Marshal, as a Staff Officer Intelligence and, for the last seven months, as a Deputy Director of the Naval Intelligence Department directly concerned with security. He has also commanded two different Royal Marine Commandos.
