 When M.I.6, the actual British Foreign Intelligence agency, learned  that a scene from this film would shot around their headquarters  building, they moved to prohibit it citing a security risk. However,  Foreign Secretary Robin Cook (V) (qv), at the urging of Arts  Minister Janet Anderson moved to overrule them and allow the shoot,  stating "After all Bond has done for Britain, it was the least we  could do for Bond."
