Abstract

The monitoring of MPs on official secrets in Spain is ruled through a Resolution by the Presiding Officer of the House of Commons who settles a plural procedure depending on whether the subject of discussion is considered secret or of a reserved nature. Such control is carried by a limited number of MPs who cannot retain the files they have access to and who must also keep their knowledge on such matters secret.
