National Security Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 June 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on National Security Bill.

I do not want to dwell too much on whistleblowers, but the Bill does not address the Official Secrets Act 1989, so there is an absence of a public interest defence and all the bits around that. What is the logic of not addressing all those aspects in the primary legislation?
