<p>Home Office targets for review of historical material are those set by the Public
Records Acts as amended by the transition period for the reduction of the ’30 year
rule’ to a ’20 year rule’ established in the Constitutional Reform and Governance
Act 2010 and its enacting secondary legislation. For 2014, the statutory requirement
is for records dated 1985 and 1986 to be transferred to The National Archives by the
end of the calendar year. <br><br>The department reports its progress against the
requirements of the transition period to The National Archive on a bi-annual basis,
which is then published on The National Archive’s website:<br><br>http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/record-transfer-report.htm.<br><br>The
last report was made in Spring 2014, the next is due this autumn. <br><br>The Home
Office has a team of 10 staff engaged in review of its historical records.</p><p>
