Crime on high
Sir: May I be one to congratulate John Grigg on his forthright and courageous article headed: 'Crime in high places'? He left out another of the political villains responsible for our national disgrace at that time—Edward Heath, who was Chief Whip in the then Conservative Government and who also became a Prime Minister. At the time I seem to remember Selwyn Lloyd in Parliament denying that there had been any collusion between France and Britain and Israel. According to Moshe Dayan's book, -The Story of My Lire, Selwyn Lloyd was the chief British spokesman at those conspiratorial meetings in France to organise the onslaught upon Egypt.
When Profumo lied to Parliament he got the sack. Selwyn Lloyd becomes a Companion of Honour! Eden, as the article goes on to say, was given an earldom, but he was also made a Knight of the Garter—the highest Order in chivalry! Nil desperandum! W. A. C. Harvey Ashdene Cottage, Sigglesthorne, Hull
