我们认为，在温斯顿丘吉尔和克莱门特艾德礼执政的11年里，英国情报机构发生了变化。这一变化集中在情报与唐宁街之间的关系上。以前的总理对他们的方法不感兴趣，天真，缺乏经验。当丘吉尔上任后，这一切都改变了，因为他不仅利用了情报的力量，而且还以联合评估机制的形式监督了中央大脑的发展。然而，完成革命需要克莱门特·艾德礼，他与丘吉尔有着截然不同的个性。他们不仅共同开发了历任首相所使用的机器，他们还训练了艾登、麦克米伦和道格拉斯-霍姆，使他们了解情报的变革力量--在此过程中改变了核心执行官的性质。尽管如此，每届新政府的情报都越来越多地反映了总理的性格。
We argue that British intelligence was transformed during the eleven years that Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee were in power. This change focused on the relationship between intelligence and Downing Street. Previous premiers were uninterested, naïve and inexperienced in their approach. When Churchill took office all this changed since he not only harnessed the power of intelligence but also oversaw the development of a central brain in the form of the joint assessment machinery. Yet it required Clement Attlee, with a rather different personality from Churchill, to complete the revolution. Together they not only developed the machinery used by successive prime ministers, they also trained Eden, Macmillan, and Douglas-Home in the transformative power of intelligence – changing the nature of the core executive in the process. Nevertheless, intelligence under each new administration increasingly reflects the character of the premier.
