Do they still have a “D” notice for the media?

For those who don’t remember - a “D” notice was a notice to the press, TV and radio not to report on an issue if it would breach national security. To do so was treason and punishable as such. But the government of the day abused it to cover issues that were not really about national security but about party security.
