Does the strategy address the issue of central government funding for deposited public records kept in places of deposit?
The objective of the strategy is to provide a clear and stable framework for the disposition of UK public records in the long-term. There is no allocation of central government funds for deposited public records selected for permanent preservation because there is no provision for such funding under the Public Records Acts. Some places of deposit (for example, national museums and galleries) are already funded directly by central government. There is no statutory requirement that places of deposit must accept a particular class of public record when it is offered to them.
