Guy Liddell was a senior MI5 officer.

In 1933, Liddell accompanied Frank Foley, the Berlin station chief of MI6, on a liaison visit to Nazi Germany.[1]

John Costello's 1988 Mask of Treachery speculated that Liddell was the so-called Fifth Man, in a Soviet Spy Ring, later named by Christopher Andrew and Oleg Gordievsky as John Cairncross.[2]
