HC Deb 12 November 1979 vol 973 cc400-1W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether any of his departmental files have been released to the Public Record Office since 1 January: and, if so, if he will list them in the Official Report by piece reference number and title.

Mr. Blaker

In the course of this year the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has transferred to the Public Record Office approximately 2,600 pieces in some 150 classes. A summary of these records will be given in the annual report of the Keeper of Public Records in accordance with his usual practice. It would not be practicable, having regard to the cost and to the time available, to list the particulars.
