How do we stop Home Office files from going missing? | FOIMan
The Home Office lost 114 files (well, actually 30,000, but let’s not go
there). A couple of weeks ago I wrote about this
<http://www.foiman.com/archives/1215> in the context of a Home Affairs
Select Committee hearing on this. This morning the Public Administration
Select Committee heard
<http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/public-administration-select-committee/news/preservation-of-historic-files-ev-session/>
from National Archives and Parliamentary Archives officials about records
management and disposal across government.

As always, the hearing was somewhat dispiriting, with MPs veering wildly
from giddy excitement at the thought that an archive holds 500 years of
records (and perhaps moreso at the thought that they too will one day have
their words of wisdom captured there) to being unreasonably rude to people
trying their best to answer their badly construed questions. One day I’ll
stop being surprised by their antics.
