HC Deb 08 December 1980 vol 995 c229W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list in the Official Report those documents which he has released under section 5 (1) of the Public Records Act within the 30-year time limit.

Mr. Mayhew

My right hon. Friend has no power under section 5(1) of the Public Records Act to release documents within the 30-year period; and the Lord Chancellor has not been requested to release any documents within that period.
