Some of the documents about which the Minister speaks are wills and so on and they are publicly available in the National Archives. We are discussing historical documents. While our lifespan is pretty good I do not think it stretches back to the early 1880s or, for most people, the early 1920s. What I am hearing is the Minister's refusal, put in a nice way. This is a missed opportunity. I ask that the commission be specifically asked about these records.
