The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament recognised as much when they carried out an inquiry on Parliament’s behalf into women in the intelligence agencies.</p><p> </p><p>It has been the longstanding policy of successive Governments not to reveal details of the budgets or spending of the intelligence agencies.
