"Edwin Quentin Joyce, younger brother of William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw"), was himself a member of the National Socialist Party in Britain and a former official in the British Union of Fascists (BUF). He was therefore a natural focus of Security Service attentions. It is revealed in these files, which have been weeded, that the Service had doubts about the degree of threat posed by Quentin Joyce. Perhaps the most interesting element of the record is the internal debates about whether or not he should be interned, barred from being called up, and finally, prevented from returning to his former employment at the Air Ministry." "[Brian] Fitzgerald-Hume gained later notoriety as the self-confessed, but never convicted, killer of his business associate Stanley Setty, whose dismembered body he threw from a light plane over the North Sea. However, this tale is the final grisly detail in these Security Service files. The Service initially took an interest in Fitzgerald-Hume in 1937 when, as a military trainee, he was reported as a suspected Communist. However, a year later the minutes in the file note that "…it is quite evident…that this boy has definitely broken off his connection with the Y [young] C [communist] L [league]" - and he was in fact now taking up fascist views."
