(asked on 27th October 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will issue guidance to service personnel on discharge concerning their continuing obligations under the Official Secrets Act.
This question was answered on 1st November 2022
We have procedures that ensure staff are regularly reminded of their obligations while in Service. Personnel are then reminded of their ongoing obligations under the Official Secrets Act upon their departure from Defence. If there is any evidence that personnel breach the Official Secrets Act we would not hesitate to bring criminal charges.
