Official Narrative

Sir Patrick Walker was the head of the Security Service MI5 from the start of 1988 to 1992. There appears to be a lack of information about Patrick Walker in the public domain.

Background

Walker joined the Security Service in 1963 following a period of service in the pre-independence government of Uganda.[1]

According to The Times, Walker served as Deputy Director General Operations before heading the service, and was succeeded in that post by Julian Faux in 1988.[2]
