Three Ministers Named To Judge
(N.Z .P.A .-Reuter—Copyright)
LONDON, July 7. The names of three Government Ministers have been given to a Government security inquiry investigating the Profumo scandal. Reporting this, the
“People” did not say who the Ministers were, or who had given their names to Lord Denning, the Judge who is conducting the inquiry. Lord Denning had been told that “compromising pictures” exist of two of the Ministers—“and he is probing all the evidence about them,” the newspaper said Recalling that Lord Denning has asked for the record of the Argyll divorce case earlier this year, the “People” said that one rumour concerns a picture produced in Cot -t during that hearing. In it, “some people claim a. leading Minister is recognisable.”
A second picture allegedly shows a Government Minister at the side of a swimming pool in a group.
It includes Christine Keeler, the 21-year-old model who had an affair with the former War Minister, Mr Profumo, the “People” said.
