Sir Roger Henry Hollis KBE CB (2 December 1905 – 26 October 1973) was a British journalist and intelligence officer who served with MI5 from 1938 to 1965. He was Director General of MI5 from 1956 to 1965. Some commentators, including the journalist Chapman Pincher and intelligence officer Peter Wright, have suggested that Hollis was a Soviet agent. In his book The Defence of the Realm: The Authorised History of MI5 (2009), the Cambridge historian Christopher Andrew rejects this theory. The government's official position, first stated by Margaret Thatcher, is that there was no evidence that Hollis might have been a traitor. Ref QQQ 4
