I can assure you that there is UK documentation going back well over 60 years which has not been declassified and probably will not be declassified for some decades yet.<br /><br />Having said that, the amount of routine government business documentation which Jersey keeps closed in its archives under a 100-year rule is absurd - but when Jersey has only woken up to the concept of public record in the last twenty years, what else can you expect?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194881271051758232noreply@blogger.com
