In October 1979 he wrote to Moon telling him that he could no longer attend the International Conferences until this practice stopped.

The first of these, ‘No Easy Chair’, was intended by Jones as a follow up to Most Secret War, covering his experiences before and after the Second World War. By the middle of 1987, however, his plans to publish such a book appear to have been abandoned. Instead the book he finally produced, Reflections on Intelligence, was much less autobiographical and focussed instead largely on issues relating to intelligence, security and defence.
