§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland 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. YoungerThe Public Records Act does not apply to Scotland, which has separate legislation. A summary of all records transferred to the Scottish Record Office with, in recent years, general details of the closure periods applied is, however, given in the annual reports of the Keeper of the Records of Scotland. Having regard to time and cost, it is impracticable to provide details of those records which have been released within the 30-year time limit.
