The majority of MPs voted against creating a defence to an offence under the Official Secrets Act where a disclosure has been made to an investigation or inquiry relating to historic child abuse.
MPs were considering the Serious Crime Bill[1].
The proposed new clause rejected in this vote was:
-
(1) The Official Secrets Act 1989 is amended as follows—
-
(2) After section 8, insert—
-
“(8A) It is a defence for a person charged with an offence under any provision of this Act to prove that he knew, or had reasonable cause to believe, that the information, document or article disclosed was—
-
(a) germane to an official investigation of, or inquiry into, historic child abuse, and
-
(b) provided only to an officer of such an investigation or inquiry.
