I move amendment No. 4:

In page 4, to delete lines 27 and 28.

There are a number of weaknesses in the processes the Government is using in this area. First and foremost are the difficulties with a political decision being made by the Government on whether a particular document will be made available and then the issue of whether the resources will be made available to the Department in order for the Department to be able to carry out its work. As we know, the Department and the National Archives have had difficulty in dealing with much of their workload in recent years. There is a general feeling that there will be a weakness in this process in making sure these archives are made available to the general public.
