408.In national security proceedings a recommendation must not be made for the benefit of the respondent’s wider workforce, if the recommendation would affect anything done by the Security Service, the Secret Intelligence Service, the Government Communications Headquarters or a part of the armed forces which assists the Government Communications Headquarters.
