Masterman Committee

The Masterman Committee was a government group in the UK during World War II, established in 1941 to evaluate and improve the country's military intelligence and security. Its goal was to assess how well wartime information was protected and to recommend ways to prevent leaks or espionage. The committee reviewed existing practices, identified weaknesses, and suggested reforms to strengthen espionage defenses and intelligence operations. Essentially, it aimed to ensure that sensitive military information remained secure, supporting effective decision-making and national security during a critical period.
