§ Norman BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many US National Security Agency personnel are at GCHQ; and what the rank is of the most senior of them. [47607]
§ Mr. StrawIt is long-standing Government policy not to comment on details of the staffing of the security and intelligence services. However, I can confirm that there are a number of NSA personnel at GCHQ in a variety of roles. The most senior is the Special US Liaison Officer, a former deputy director at NSA.
