The Information Research Department, founded in 1948 by Christopher Mayhew MP, was a department of the British Foreign Office set up to counter Soviet propaganda and infiltration, particularly amongst the western labour movement. The Soviet Union was fully aware of its existence as Guy Burgess had been posted to IRD for a period of two months in 1948 before being sacked by Mayhew for being "dirty, drunk and idle."〔(Death of the department that never was ) from ''The Guardian'', 27 January 1978〕 ==Origins== In a confidential paper to the foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin, in 1947, Mayhew, at the time a junior minister, had proposed a "propaganda counter-offensive" and Attlee summoned him to Chequers to discuss it further.〔 Mayhew ran the department with Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick〔(David Leigh recounts the 30-year history of the Foreign Office's covert propaganda operation )〕 until 1950. The original offices were in Carlton House Terrace, before moving to Riverwalk House, Millbank, London.
