HC Deb 06 May 1986 vol 97 c105W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how many staff members of the (a) Central Electricity Generating Board, (b) South of Scotland Electricity Board, (c) United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, (d) National Nuclear Corporation and (e) British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. are respectively, required to sign the Official Secrets Act.

Mr. Goodlad

The provisions of the Official Secrets Acts apply to all those who have access to official information. It is a matter for the organisation concerned to decide whether to draw this fact to the attention of its staff by requiring them to sign a formal declaration. This information is riot held centrally and could not be obtained without considerable difficulty.
