The other thing that has to be brought in is that we have inversed the role of secrecy. Instead of demanding that we prove what needs to be kept secret, the assumption is we need to prove what can be released. Part of the process would be better served if, as we go through all those issues that you say have a requirement for secrecy, you need to to demonstrate where the secrecy is required and then you assume that everything else is open.
Once again, we go back to the one example of the creation of shipbuilding strategy. Remember, that is a rarity in which the document by which the decision was ultimately formulated was released publicly. In other words, there was an ability and a recognition among those who were tasked with coming up with the strategy to be able to defend their positions without betraying any of the secrecy requirements.
There are techniques by which we can make sure that real information is shared and secrecy is protected, but only if we have the political will to do it. Once again, we're left with that horrible reality that all of this is possible, but it has to have the buy-in of the Prime Minister.
