| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A defining theme of defence intelligence in the UK during the early Cold War was the Service Departments' resistance to the concept of integrated intelligence. This article explains how this capability was achieved only with the amalgamation of the three Service Departments within a unified Ministry of Defence with overarching strategic and financial authority. It offers a critical analysis of the 1960 Templer review of Service intelligence, the creation of the Defence Intelligence Staff in April 1964, and its further restructuring on a functional basis in August 1965 by the Secretary of State, Denis Healey. |
