Update 30 Sept 2009
We have just received this statement from the Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer and MP for Twickenham, Vince Cable:
‘This is an object lesson on how not to cut public expenditure: poor consultation and disproportionate cuts in service provision relative to senior management, which has created many of the problems.’
Members of the campaign team have written to other politicians seeking their views on the matter, as well as presenting the findings of our research – facts, not myths – to the relevant Minister, Michael Wills. The matter is also to be discussed at the next meeting of the Lord Chancellor’s Advisory Council on National Records and Archives on 12 November 2009.
Naturally, we will keep you posted on these initiatives. In the meantime, we suggest you continue to write to your MPs with your comments and views.
