MACDERMOTT, NIALL. A wartime MI5 officer, Niall MacDermott was educated at Rugby and read modern languages at Cambridge and then law at Oxford. While an undergraduate at Balliol, he was prosecuted, and acquitted, for the manslaughter of a fellow student. MacDermott was elected the Labour MP for Lewisham North in February 1957, but his political career came to an end when in August 1966, as minister of state in the Department of Housing and Local Government, he married his longtime Russian mistress, Ludmila Benvenuto, after divorcing his wife. She was interrogated by MI5 in February 1968 and when MacDermott was told her answers had been unsatisfactory, he retired from the House of Commons at the next general election and went to live in Geneva where he worked as secretary-general of the International Commission of Jurists from 1970 and died in February 1996.
