Official Secrets Act

Mr. Drew: To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what provisions are in place to deter people who have not signed the Official Secrets Act from reading documents classified only to be read by people who have signed the Act; and what steps may be taken against any such people who do read such documents without authorisation. [212252]

Edward Miliband: Government information bearing a classification may only be passed to those individuals who have a need to know and, where necessary, hold the appropriate security clearance.

While there is no requirement for individuals to sign the Official Secrets Act, the provisions of the Act are drawn to the attention of Crown servants on appointment.

Under the Act, it is an offence to disclose official information in certain specified categories and, for most of those categories, when the disclosure is damaging. The provisions of the Act apply to Crown servants and Government contractors, and to members of the public who have, or have had, official information in their possession.
