 Secret Intelligence Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Along with the rest of the intelligence community and the wider government, SIS switched focus in the 1930s to Nazi Germany.
The real scale and impact of SIS activities during the second half of the Cold War remains unknown, however, because the bulk of their most successful targeting operations against Soviet officials were the result of 'Third Country' operations recruiting Soviet sources travelling abroad in Asia and Africa.
During the mid-1990s the British intelligence community was subjected to a comprehensive costing review by the Government, and as part of broader defence cut-backs SIS had its resources cut back 25% across the board and senior management was reduced by 40%.

 British dossier on Iraqi weapons released - 24 September 2002 - New Scientist
The long-awaited British government dossier of evidence for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was released on Tuesday morning.
But, citing undisclosed intelligence sources, the dossier repeatedly emphasises that "Iraq has already begun to conceal sensitive equipment and documentation in advance of the return of the inspectors".
If the British government already thinks that inspections will be inconclusive, then it must also think that military action is inevitable.

 t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | Blair-Powell UN Report Written by Student
The British report states that the Iraqi intelligence agency is "spying on foreign embassies in Iraq." The al-Marashi essay's version states that the Iraqi intelligence agency is "monitoring foreign embassies in Iraq." The rhetorical leap from "monitoring" to "spying" is evident.
In another portion of the British dossier, Iraq is accused of "supporting terrorist organizations in hostile regimes." The al-Marashi essay's version states that Iraq is "aiding opposition groups in hostile regimes." The insertion of the word "terrorist" is manifestly provocative.
The British dossier was presented as an up-to-date report on the status of Iraq's weapons and terrorist ties.

 British Intelligence Iraq Dossier Relies on Recycled Academic Articles
Finally, there is one serious substantive mistake in the British text, in that it muddles up Boyne's description of General Security (al-Amn al-Amm), and places it in its section on p.14 of Military Security (al-Amn al-Askari).
Apart from the obvious criticism that the British government has plagiarised texts without acknowledgement, passing them off as the work of its intelligence services, there are two further serious problems.
In this case, the intelligence services either were not consulted even though the information was sourced to them; or, possibly more likely, they provided an assessment that did not fit in with the politicians' argument.

The fact that the intelligence referred to by the British was not credible is made more obvious by British Labor MP Lynne Jones's observations [I've reproduced the text but removed the original formatting so that I can add my own emphasis.
Yes, even though the British Government tried to mislead the public by suggesting there were no challenges to the credibility of their intel prior to the IAEA review.
So, it is likely that the British Government was simply misleading their parliamentary committees on the second source and just asserting that Al-Zahawie's trip had something to do with uranium even though there was no credible intel from anyone proving that was the case.

Intelligence sources declined to say how the information about the Iraqi leader's whereabouts was gleaned, whether from listening devices, special forces, or Iraqi informers on the ground.
Pentagon officials had referred to three credible sources of "human intelligence" locating Saddam in the building, in the upmarket district of Mansour, which is still under Iraqi control.
The intelligence sources described their view that President Saddam had not been killed in Monday's attack as a "preliminary assessment", presumably from intelligence in Baghdad.

He is to give evidence to Lord Hutton's judicial inquiry into the death of the Ministry of Defence biological weapons expert Dr David Kelly, who is said to have questioned the 45-minute assertion in his briefings to BBC journalists.
But intelligence sources are scathing about his association with Blair's media adviser, Alastair Campbell, who has described him as a 'mate', and by his public endorsement of the September dossier.
