§ Mr. Hoyleasked the Secretary of State for Defence whether SSS, a security company of Hyde, has advertised for the employment of ex-service men in any journal published by his Department; and if the company has been given any assistance in the recruitment of such personnel.
§ Mr. LeeThe Department has no record of any assistance having been given to Special Security Services of Hyde, which is presumably the company in mind, in the recruitment of ex-service personnel. There is no central record of all advertisements placed in the many journals, magazines and other publications of the MOD and services, and a complete check would involve disproportionate cost to the Department. A check in the most likely publications has revealed no trace of such an advertisement by this company, but if there is any particular advertisement in any MOD journal which causes him concern perhaps he would let me know.
