Scotland Census 2022
 
I just filled out the census 2022 form. A question asked about what I did in my previous job and I said "could not answer this as I signed the official secrets act". Now I'm wondering if I could be fined for not answering the question. And I can't change the form now that I've submitted it online.

They can always send it back if not happy with the answers

Census does not override official secrets act and unless the Scot's government have changed thing's you won't suffer any negative consequences.

Because the English will be paying for it?

I suspect not.
Its run by NRS, which I assume is funded by Scotland.

Was that a factual answer, or facetious?

If factual you should be OK*, if facetious, probably not so much… ;)

When I left the military (I had worked in intelligence collection & analysis), we were given a job description to use that was factually correct, but also gave nothing away…

It seems postponed from 2021 due to Covid.

If I remember correctly, it was along the lines of "Hugh has had extensive training and operational experience in utilising various advanced communication and cryptological technologies in high pressure environments, working in small and large teams consisting of both civilian and military personnel from multiple countries. Hugh also has been trained and been actively involved in collating and analysing information from other teams and areas and providing high-level and detailed reports from this information."
