Stella Rimington was the former head of the Security Service MI5 from 1992 to 1996.[1]
Rimington has defended MI5's surveillance of left-wing groups.
- Well all I can say is that Communist and Trotskyist organisations, by their philosophy, their published aims, would have fallen within the definition of subversion.[2]
According to The Sunday Times, Rimington worked alongside Michael Bettaney running Willie Carlin as an agent in the IRA in 1980.[3]
