Response
We have interpreted your request twofold, as a request for access to these records and as a request for information concerning the transfer of these records to The National Archives.
Our records indicate that the files you have requested (T 383/438, T 383/439, T 383/440) have not been transferred to The National Archives. We do not hold any information on our transfer schedules for these records, and we have not received any pending applications for their transfer. These records are therefore still considered to be retained by the transferring department under section 3 (4) of the Public Records Act 1958, and are therefore not held by The National Archives.
We are therefore unable to provide you with any information in relation to your FOI request.
