In this matter I should add the UK is not unique. Several of the now known US intelligence and national security agencies were guarded secrets until quite recently - and a few of them are still secret both in name and in what they do! All of them keep most of their work and even defined parameters of their mandate a secret. Below are some of the known ones - others could be added - depending on definition of terms. I'm sure there are others completely in the dark......even the names unknown!
