Description

A public scandal involving weekend pool parties at Cliveden, a call girl named Christine Keeler, an osteopath, a Russian Naval Attache and the Secretary of State for War. Did the Russian and the Secretary of State share the same services provided by the call girl and was national security threatened? It led to the resignation of John Profumo, the War Secretary, and later Harold MacMillan, the Prime Minister, on health grounds. These are the questions Lord Denning was required to answer in his inquiry.
