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 \u201930 year rule\u2019 to a \u201920 year rule\u2019 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.
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\u2019s website:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/record-transfer-report.htm.
The last report was made in Spring 2014, the next is due this autumn.
The Home Office has a team of 10 staff engaged in review of its historical records.<\/p>
