HC Deb 16 February 2000 vol 344 c554W
Ms Atherton

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what archive files relating to Nancekuke are restricted for publication by the 30-year-rule; and if he will publish them early. [109947]

Dr. Moonie

It is not possible to identify the holding of all archived files relating to defence activities at Nancekuke without incurring disproportionate cost. All department records are reviewed under well established procedures and those selected for permanent preservation are released in accordance with the provisions of the Public Records Acts, 1958 and 1967.
