1. OFFICIAL SECRETS ACTS THE COMMITTEE had before it the Report (E.L.(44)15 — Revise) of a committee presided over by the Attorney- General which had recommended - (a) that no immediate amendment of the Official Secrets Acts was called for on the expiry of the Defence Regulations dealing with official secrets but that various amendments should be introduced as opportunity afforded. (b) that Defence Regulation 2B should not be prolonged after the end of hostilities, but that the question of introducing a permanent provision on the lines of Regulation 2B should be considered when the law relating to malicious damage and dockyard protection was simplified and brought up-to-date.
