§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many papers his Department has currently withdrawn from the Public Record Office; if he will list their titles; and when he estimates that they will be returned.
§ Miss WiddecombeGovernment Departments have a statutory right under the Public Record Acts to retrieve material, temporarily, from the Public Record Office for their own administrative use. The number of items and frequency of such retrievals vary considerably. At 5 November 1992, the Department of Social Security had 17 files out on loan which are listed in the table.
Such material is returned to the Public Record Office as soon as departmental action has been completed.
