Mr. Faulds

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from the Social History Society of the United Kingdom about the availability of civil and ecclesiastical records for study and research and the shortening of the period before they are made available.

My right hon. Friend received a letter from Professor H. J. Perkin, Chairman of the Social History Society, which has been passed to the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys. I understand that a reply was sent to Professor Perkin on 3rd February.
