Guides to records include the material known to be relevant to their subject area but unless otherwise stated they are not necessarily a complete or definitive guide to all relevant material in the collection. If you become aware of relevant material that is not included in this Guide please advise a reference officer in any office of the National Archives so that appropriate additions to the Guide can be considered.
The National Archives reviews its collection to confirm the value of records for research, evidential and other purposes or to identify, in consultation with agencies, records for destruction. At the time of publication all the records described in this guide were present in the Archives' collection. However, it is possible that some of the records may be destroyed if they are reviewed and considered not to be of enduring value. If this occurs the guide will be revised accordingly.
