HC Deb 26 March 1913 vol 50 c1654
102. Mr. ALAN SYKES

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in the event of a Public Record Office being established in Wales for Welsh public records, he will undertake that only records dealing exclusively with Wales shall be removed to such office?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The recommendation of the Royal Commission on Public Records for the transfer to Wales of Welsh records does not appear to go beyond records dealing exclusively with Wales. As no decision has yet been reached upon it, I do not think it desirable to give the undertaking suggested by the hon. Member.

Mr. SYKES

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that there is much apprehension on the subject in Cheshire?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am not aware of the fact. No decision has been come to up to the present.
