The Cabinet Office is committed to meeting its obligations under the Public Records Act 1958 and we now release more records more often than ever before. The Cabinet Office is currently on track to transfer records on time as we transition to the 20 year rule. This year we will open records from 1995 and 1996 in compliance with the Public Records Act.<\/p>
However, the Cabinet Office does not hold information about the number of individual records held so this figure could only be provided at disproportionate cost by counting each individual record. Records are retained in accordance with the requirements of the Public Records Act 1958.<\/p>
The National Archives has recently assessed the Prime Ministerial and Cabinet Office\u2019s compliance with the Public Records Act as good: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/manage-information/ima/ima-reports-action-plans/<\/p>"}

The volume of BEIS\u2019 legacy public records that predate 1994 is currently being reassessed as part of the annual Information Management Report. The deadline for this report is 1st March 2019 which, when published, will provide exact figures on how many legacy records BEIS holds and how many of those are agreed for transfer to The National Archives (TNA).<\/p>
<\/p>
However, internal analysis took place in late 2018 and showed that 3853 records have been reviewed and are agreed for transfer to TNA. In addition to these, 2611 have reached their time limit but have yet to be reviewed and 10125 records have been reviewed and selected for destruction.<\/p>
<\/p>
TNA records show that all BEIS legacy records are held under a Retention Instrument (RI) covering 10599 BIS records and 1635 DECC records (RI 130, signed 20th December 2017, expires 31st<\/sup> December 2019). This information is published by TNA and is therefore publicly available. Following the machinery of government changes in July 2016, which occurred following the general election, a number of these records transferred out of BEIS to Other Government Departments and the remaining records are/have been reviewed as part of the plan to reduce our legacy records (i.e. those older than the maximum period records can be retained for) and, so far, the total has reduced by over 60%. The plan to address the backlog was agreed by TNA and published, and we have since been providing updates to the Advisory Council and will be expected to provide a full update again in July 2019.<\/p>"}
