§ The Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department (Ms Rosie Winterton)In an answer to a written Question on 11 June 2002, I stated that official papers relating to the abdication of King Edward VIII would need to be re-reviewed by Departments before release and that it was hoped that the results of the review would be known and put into effect by the end of the year. I am pleased to announce that the review has now been completed; the papers have been identified and are now being prepared for release. It is expected that they will be made available at the Public Record Office during January.
