We see a Circular sent by the SS to Chief Constables about 'subversive activities' in schools, asking them to share any information about this.
Was Moss aware of it?
No
By the time you were DCI of the SDS unit?
Maybe “but I wouldn't swear to it”.

The #spycops reported on what was going on inside schools.
There were some more questions about the procedures within the SDS.

His memory loss was less extensive than the other former #spycops we've heard from. But memory loss can be a selective thing.
He clammed up when asked about the events in Southall on 23 April '79 & claimed not to remember anyone in the @metpoliceuk discussing Blair Peach's death.

@metpoliceuk ...even though we know that #spycops attended Blair's funeral, and spied on the subsequent campaigning for justice ever since. Coates said he couldn't remember any discussion of all that within the SDS.

@metpoliceuk Although he was able to share some clear memories of the offensively sexist jokes & banter he heard in the #spycops safe-house....

After the case ended we sued the police as it had emerged the police had provided confidential information about us to McDonald's to enable them to sue us. The police apologised and paid damages, but still didn't reveal the role of #spycops in the case
