OFFICIAL SECRETS

This Order amends the Official Secrets Act 1989 (Prescription) Order 1990 (“the 1990 Order”) by adding to those who become Crown servants for the purposes of the Act, the persons listed in the second Column of Schedule 1. Accordingly, the information which they hold by virtue of their position as persons prescribed by this Order becomes information to which the Act applies if it otherwise falls within the relevant sections (1 to 4 and 8), and such persons will be treated as if they were Crown servants for the purposes of the provisions of the Act relating to the prosecution of offenders and the authorisation of disclosures.
