I propose to take Questions Nos. 406 and 408 together.

The following table outlines the staffing figures for the National Archives since the establishment of my Department in June 2011. I intend to bring an implementation plan to Cabinet regarding a change to the 30-year rule for the making public of Departmental Records in the National Archives. Until that implementation plan has been finalised, however, it will not be possible to say what impact any changes might have on Departmental resources.
