The financial allocations (both current and capital) for the National Library and the National Archives for 2012 are as follows:

The allocation outlined above for the National Archives does not include salary and administration costs. As staff in the National Archives are civil servants of my Department, such costs are met directly from my Department's Administration Budget.

With regard to the merging of the two institutions, I refer the Deputy to my reply to Questions 1, 3, 4 and 5 of 6 June 2012.
