§ Dr. MoonieThe policy of the Public Record Office is to select the final reports of research work and trials for preservation rather than the working documents. Therefore, the trial plan for Programme 3/61 has not been selected for preservation.
However, a copy of the final report Porton Technical Paper 794, entitled "Comparison of radio xenon & zinc cadmium sulphide particle tracers over medium distances of travel", can be found at W0189/1105. Additionally, a copy of the trial plan for programme 3/61 has been located in the historic archive at Dstl Porton Down and can be made available to the hon. Member.
