Profumo flatly denied any wrong-doing, telling Parliament on March 22, 1963,“there was no impropriety
whatsoever in my acquaintanceship with Miss Keeler.
Ward wrote a letter to Harold Wilson, leader of the opposition party in Parliament,
and let him know that Profumo had lied to the House of Commons back in March.
The world may never have known about Profumo's indiscretion if a drug dealer hadn't shot
up the outside of Dr. Stephen Ward's London flat in early 1963 when Christine Keeler, his ex-lover, locked him out.
