We found that Section 2 was a mess. (THE FRANKS COMMITTEE, 1972) It was August 1911 when a new Official Secrets Act went through Parliament in half an hour. Since then there has been a long string of celebrated cases bringing the Act into disrepute, and there is now almost universal opposition to Section 2. Lord Scarman has said, 'I'd like to see it repealed lock, stock and barrel.'
James Naughtie marks a notorious 75th anniversary by looking at the Act and considering alternatives that might offer more freedom of information. Producer JOCK GALLAGHER BBC Birmingham

Wyn Thomas puts these points to some young poets, and discusses them with poet R. S. Thomas and novelist Emyr Humphreys.
