Spycatcher scandal: newly released documents from the Thatcher era reveal the changing nature of government secrecy

The capital city, Hobart, had a bit of a “living at the edge of the world” feeling in those days.

Key Points: 
  • The capital city, Hobart, had a bit of a “living at the edge of the world” feeling in those days.
  • It seemed about as far away from anywhere as you could get.
  • A British spy had “secretly” been living only a few miles away in the sleepy town of Cygnet.
  • The prime minister followed the exchanges closely, as revealed by her handwritten comments across documents.
  • It begins, of course, with the elusive Wright – in my mind’s eye in the 1980s, I had expected him to be a dapper figure in a pinstriped suit.
  • In court, Armstrong would face none other than the up-and-coming Australian barrister Malcolm Turnbull, appearing for Wright’s publishers.
  • What the papers released by the National Archives provide is something rather more than just a good story, however.

That was then …

  • Even the names of the leaders of MI5 were a closely guarded secret, never mind the workings of their organisation.
  • It was simply not the done thing to discuss issues of national security in public.
  • Advice was offered and arguments made behind closed doors and away from the public gaze.
  • In the 1980s, it was still possible for government to believe it might be able to control the spread of information.

This is now …

  • Modern expectations of transparency mean that governments are now governing in public, whether they like it or not.
  • Where once the heads of MI5 had their identities protected, we now find them striding the public stage.
  • Stella Rimington, the director general of MI5 in the mid 1990s, published her own autobiography in 2001.
  • Their attempt to quash what turned out to be a rather innocuous book turned it into an international cause celebre.


The Spycatcher saga is a reminder that the nature of British government has changed. It shines a light on the extent to which something seen as an extraordinary public scandal in the 1980s would be seen as far less remarkable today. Modern governments are far more used to the norms of governing in public – for good or ill – in our more transparent age.
