Has the Minister any idea when work is likely to commence given that it is justified and that the National Archives has statutory responsibility to manage its records? Is it planned to include exhibition space? Is the Minister considering the problematic staffing level in the National Archives? He told me previously that 70,000 boxes of records have not been catalogued at this stage. There is a lot of work to be done. The timeline and the exhibition space are the key issues.
