HL Deb 01 February 1988 vol 492 c981WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it is their intention to seek an injunction (or other appropriate instrument) in the Soviet courts to prevent Mr. Kim Philby, widely believed to have been an officer of M 16, from taking part in the five-part television feature to be called "The Game" in that country, and if not why not.

The Lord Chancellor (Lord Mackay of Clashfern)

The Government only initiate proceedings which they are advised have a reasonable prospect of success.
