(The Home Secretary's private quarters in the Home Office. In the room are the Home Secretary himself, HENRY BROOKE, the head of MI5, ROGER HOLLIS, and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, SIR JOSEPH SIMPSON.)
[BROOKE]
This is a terribly serious matter
The Government's future is in jeopardy
This fellow, Ward, went and threatened Profumo
He can't keep his mouth shut
[HOLLIS]
How best can we deal with him?
[BROOKE]
Shift the blame
And blacken his name
Let's find a way to put him inside
Shift the blame
Put him in the frame
And keep the whole damn thing
[ALL]
Classified
[HOLLIS]
Now that Ivana's been called back to Russia
There isn't a chance we can get Ward for espionage
And by the way
He was working on our behalf
Writing useless reports on Ivanov's proclivities
