Op­er­a­tions at the elite se­cu­ri­ty out­fit are ex­pect­ed to be tak­en over by a new di­rec­tor, with Snr Supt Ali­cia Hen­ry tipped to as­sume the role.

While se­cu­ri­ty of­fi­cials re­mained tight-lipped about the ap­point­ment yes­ter­day, Hen­ry re­spond­ed with a gra­cious “many thanks” when of­fered con­grat­u­la­tions late on Mon­day.

She, how­ev­er, de­clined to con­firm whether she had been se­lect­ed as the newest head of the Strate­gic Ser­vices Agency (SSA).
