| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7770 To WOP. From BJ. Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Confidential. BJ11/E18.9.28 In view of the necessity for extreme secrecy in regard to the "SS{S. Smith}" I presume every care is being taken that parts shall not be about the Works? Is it necessary for any parts to be made or seen in the Works outside the Holy of Holies? If so, to what extent please? We must always remember that there is a risk of visitors going round the Works at any time, and these visitors may be very knowledgeable and nosey and such people as are very quick to spread reports, which would be very injurious to us.
