Official narrative
The Intelligence and Security Committee was established under the Intelligence Services Act 1994 to oversee the three main UK intelligence agencies: MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. It has since expanded its remit to include intelligence related elements of the Cabinet Office including the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC); the Assessments Staff; and the Intelligence, Security and Resilience Group. The committee also takes evidence from the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS).[1]
Capture
The ISC is an anomolous statutory committee rather than a normal parliamentary select committee. There was an unsuccessful attempt to bring the committee under the administration of parliament in July 2008.[2] The committee produces an unclassified annual report but its work is invariably conducted in secret. The pedigrees of some of the members of this committee suggest that they are establishment insiders hand appointed because their principal loyalty is to the deep state. The committee may well be 100% compromised.
Membership
The UK Parliament appoints the nine members from both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, after considering nominations from the Prime Minister.
