The costs involved in renting off-site storage for the Department's records is a matter for the Property Management Section of the Office of Public Works, which acts on behalf of the Department in relation to the rental of off-site storage.

The figures in the following table refer to the cost per year (inclusive of VAT), for the past three years, for archiving the Department's records which include the cost of transferring files to the off-site storage location, retrieval/return costs and the purchase of new crates.
