<p>The Cabinet Office is committed to complying with the Public Records Act 1958 and
has released records to The National Archives (TNA) up to 2002.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Records
listed on TNA’s online catalogue Discovery include details to reflect exemptions,
if they have been applied, to closed or retained records. If paper files that are
open at TNA contain minor redactions, details to reflect exemptions being applied
are included on a Dummy Card, which replaces the closed or retained extracts within
the record. A process is in place to re-review closed and retained records at the
10-year point or when the agreed closure or retention period is about to expire.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>The most recent Information Management Assessment published by The
National Archives (https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/cabinet-office-ima-reassessment-report.pdf)
gave the Cabinet Office an assurance rating of Green. There are no plans to change
the record keeping practices of the Department.</p><p> </p>
