HC Deb 26 July 1978 vol 954 cc752-3W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he is able to give an assurance that all official papers and documents due for revelation under the 30-years rule are now available for inspection and that none has been lost or destroyed to prevent embarrassment or possible criminal prosecution of those mentioned in the papers.

The Solicitor-General

Apart from a small proportion of records on which work is outstanding, all records created more than 30 years ago and due to be opened under the Public Records Acts 1958 and 1967 are available for public inspection. I am not aware that any such records have been lost or destroyed.
