The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) is investigating allegations that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and MI5 unlawfully spied on the phone communications of Chris Moore, a former reporter with the BBC's Spotlight programme, who has reported about police collusion with terrorist organisations.

The High Court ruled that MI5's explanations about the senior spy's misleading evidence were unsatisfactory, leading to potential contempt of court proceedings.

The origins of MI5 highlight a pivotal transition from a small bureau to a significant intelligence service, emphasizing evolving roles of women within the agency.
