Mr. Leslie

It is not possible to identify documents which may have been written by the names listed, without detailed research into the records held by the National Archives. Because this research would have to cover a very large number of documents, a full answer to the hon. Member could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, more information about Government records which have been transferred to the National Archives can be accessed through its web site at: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk
