The Denning report

The Denning Report, published in 1973, was an analysis of the UK's intelligence agencies, particularly MI5 and MI6, focusing on their activities during the 1960s and early 1970s. It examined concerns about oversight, accountability, and illegal practices within these agencies, including issues like surveillance and covert operations. The report aimed to recommend improvements to ensure better oversight, transparency, and adherence to legal and ethical standards while recognizing the importance of national security. Overall, it serves as a key document promoting reform and oversight of intelligence agencies in the UK.
