- John Morrison (British Intelligence Official)
John Noble Lennox Morrison (born July 14, 1943 in Hexham, joined the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) in 1967 as a desk-level intelligence analyst. During his Ministry of Defence (MoD) career he occupied a wide range of analytical and management positions in the DIS and elsewhere, including three tours in the Cabinet Office, culminating as Secretary to the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC).
Morrison ended his official career as the senior civilian intelligence professional in the Defence Intelligence Staff, serving four years as Deputy Chief of Defence Intelligence and Head of the Defence Intelligence Analysis Staff. During this period he represented the MoD and DIS as a member of the JIC, UK representative to the NATO Intelligence Board and Head of Profession for MoD Intelligence Analyst classes. He was awarded the US Defence Intelligence Agency's Director's Award in 1999.
On leaving the DIS and the civil service in 1999, Morrison was selected by the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) to be its first "Investigator". He held this position until 2004, when he was fired by the Committee for appearing on the UK BBC television programme "Panorama". John Morrison is currently a Senior Fellow of the Brunel Centre for Intelligence and Security Studies at Brunel University and a joint author of the Centre's November 2006 analysis: "The Open Side of Secrecy: Britain's Intelligence and Security Committee", the first in-depth study of the ISC.
Since his retirement, Morrison has appeared on a number of TV and radio programmes, including "Panorama", "Today", "The Politics Show", "Newsnight" and "The Conspiracy Files" (on the death of Dr David Kelly).
