  • CAB 1761942-1957War Cabinet, Ministry of Defence and Cabinet Office: Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee, later Committee: Secretariat: Minutes (JIC(SEC))

    This series contains secretariat minutes of the Joint Intelligence Sub-Committee.

    Secretariat minutes were used to pass information to members of the Committee. Some covered fairly mundane topics such as the dates and times of meetings or changes of contact details. Others covered substantive documents such as intelligence assessments that were to be noted or that were to be discussed at future meetings. Until the late 1950s (when discrete symbols and registry arrangements were introduced), Secretariat minutes were used to disseminate the reports of JIC sub-committees and working parties.
