UK spy agency MI6 will recruit children of immigrants for first time
Britain's foreign spy agency will allow the children of immigrants to join the organization for the first time and will launch its first ever TV advert on Thursday.
Alex Younger, the chief of MI6 known as "C", is scrapping a rule that new recruits must have two British-born parents and they will now only need to be British born.
The service is on a recruitment drive aimed at women with children and black and minority ethnic candidates to bolster the service's diversity.
The change comes as MI6, whose greatest fictional agent is James Bond, launches the first TV advert in its 109-year history on Thursday evening. The advert shows a mother and her young child watching a shark in an aquarium.
