Details

Under the Public Records Act (1958) government departments are required to identify records worthy of permanent preservation and transfer them to The National Archives (TNA). The passing of the Constitutional Reform and Governance (CRAG) Act 2010 means that government departments must now transfer their records to TNA at the end of 20 years rather than 30 years as previously.
