==Squidgygate and Camillagate tapes==<br />
In the early 1990s, Adye was involved in attempts to establish the provenance of tapes of intimate conversations involving members of the royal family, according to evidence at the inquest into the death of [[Princess Diana]] reported in the ''Daily Telegraph'':<br />
<br />
::[[Lord Fellowes]], the Queen's former private secretary, told the inquest that the revelations prompted a series of high-level meetings and correspondence over who had secretly recorded them, with input from Sir [[Robin Butler]], the then cabinet secretary, Dame [[Stella Rimington]], former [[MI5]] chief, and Sir [[John Adye]], the head of GCHQ.<br />
It was decided that there would not be a full investigation amid fears that news of any inquiry would leak out and further fuel public suspicion.<ref>Richard Edwards, [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1578364/Home-Secretary-Kenneth-Clarke-blocked-Diana-Squidgygate-tape-inquiry.html Home Secretary Kenneth Clarke 'blocked Diana Squidgygate tape inquiry'], telegraph.co.uk, 12 February 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
In his own testimony to the inquest, Adye denied that [[GCHQ]] was bugging the royal family, which he said would have required a warrant from the Foreign Secretary.<ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-522108/Former-GCHQ-chief-denies-bugging-Diana-Royal-Family.html Former GCHQ chief denies bugging Diana and Royal Family], MailOnline, 28 February 2008.</ref><br />
<br />
==Intelligence Services Bill==<br />
In 1993 Adye gave an unprecedented press conference with [[MI6]] chief Sir [[Colin McColl]] to welcome the Intelligence Services Bill, which put [[MI6]] and [[GCHQ]] on a statutory footing.<ref>Colin Brown, [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/battle-begins-over-security-services-bill-head-of-mi6-emerges-from-shadows-to-give-press-conference-1506510.html Battle begins over security services Bill: Head of MI6 emerges from shadows to give press conference], The Independent, 25 November 1993.</ref><br />
