Indeed
But that is not how intelligence works.
Britain was an Empire in 1939 and if you start a war with an Empire you also need to keep track of what the Empire can do and will do, not only its Motherland.
That is how I would have done it, and I don't think anyone back in the 1930s would have thought otherwise.
