MI6 launches 'most secret' information website
MI6 has launched its own website, in order to inform the public about the organisation.
MI6, or the Secret Intelligence Service as it is officially known, aims to increase the public’s knowledge of the organisation’s role and responsibilities.
The new website offers information about the SIS and the history of the organisation, as well as information about careers within the service. It is hoped that the website will also help to promote the SIS’ current staff recruitment drive.
However, the website will maintain protection of the security of SIS operations. No details about secret operations, staff, agents or locations will be revealed, for obvious security reasons.
Commenting on the website, Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said: “As well as exhibiting the full facts about the Service in one user-friendly website. I hope that this display of openness will help the public learn more about SIS and increase the appreciation of why SIS’ vital secrets must be preserved.”
The website can be accessed at www.sis.gov.uk or www.mi6.gov.uk
