HC Deb 04 April 2000 vol 347 c401W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if the Public Record Office held discussions with Oxford University with regard to the opening of the papers of Walter Monckton at the Bodleian Library on 1 March. [117072]

Mr. Lock

The Public Record Office held no discussions with Oxford University with regard to the opening of these papers. One inquiry has been received from Oxford University about the extent to which papers relating to the abdication of Edward VIII held by the PRO were open to the public.
