In simple terms....Churchill was being supplied real information on the actual Government Military Spending. With the full knowledge of the Prime Minister reports to Parliament were exagerated and downright lies. The real figures on spending for the RAF and Army units were much less than required and reported. The Officers who supplied churchill with evidence of this would have been jailed under the Defense Of The Realm Act had they been caught doing it. Churchill took carefull steps to secure these people from retribution. The whole affair was whitewashed and suppressed from public knowledge at the time. Yours, Aye. Dave
