THE PUBLIC SERVICE
A SECRECY DECLARATION
WELLINGTON, Feb 7. Forms have recently been issued to all departments of the Public Service, in which civil servants arc required to make a declaration that they will not, except in the course of their official duty, divulge any information which comes to them. There has been some comment upon the circulation of this form. Tt is suggested that it lias been brought into force because of a “leakage” of official secrets. It is officially stated that there is no special reason for this 'declaration of secrecy. It had been required from entrants tty the service for very many years, but the practice in different departments had varied, and this form was designed to produce uniformity. There were regulations respecting secrecy on officiasl matters, and it was desirable that all/officers should be acquainted with them.
