[…] organisations and individuals. It would need to take evidence from Sir Martin Furnival Jones, the former head of MI5, and from MI5 and MI6 officers, including Mr. Wright, if he could be induced to come back to the United Kingdom. It might even have to take evidence from General Sir Walter Walker about civil […]
[…] failed because they were too timid and had not been allowed sufficient time. In late 1973 Goldsmith, fellow Clermont member, David Stirling, and ‘other businessmen’ met Peter Wright, an MI5 officer, at the suggestion of Victor Rothschild, a distant cousin of Goldsmith. Wright said that during the meeting Goldsmith stated that a large number […]

[…] that Failed (Hamish Hamilton/London, 1950) was a collection of six essays edited by Labour MP Richard Crossman, three by ‘the initiates’ (Arthur Koestler, Ignazio Silone, and Richard Wright) and three by ‘worshippers from afar’ (Andre Gide, Louis Fischer, and Stephen Spender) on their disillusioned experiences with communism and the communist movement.

[…] of large-scale contract engineering work throughout the world. Ian Fraser is a director of BOC. Kindersley (see above) is a director of Wilkinson, as is S. H. Wright of Lazards.

[…] 1 on page 28 of Lobster 35 I referred to Labour MP Tony Lloyd as a ‘moderniser’. My apologies to Mr Lloyd: I confused him with Tony Wright. Donations Thanks to Carol Smith for a donation of £200. The fact that the money was otherwise intended for the Labour Party makes it the sweeter. […]
[…] as a pseudo-gang. It was directed from ‘Six’ local HQ in the Culloden Hotel at Craigavad, beside MI6 administrative HQ in Laneside House on Station Road.

[…] Mirror (2 September) for whom we had produced a ‘ragbag of spelling and factual errors…a regurgitation of the wilder fantasies of Private Eye, Auberon Waugh, Spycatcher, Peter Wright, Colin Wallace and Tony Benn.’ Joe Haines first attacked us in 1986 when Tribune printed an abbreviated version of Lobster 11.
