Although the deadline for comments on the draft Code of Practice referred to
below has passed, we are still willing to accept comments as long as they
reach us next week. So, those who have not yet found time to read and digest
the draft, please do so and let us know what you think. It is very important
that when taking it to the Information Commissioner we can feel confident
that it represent the views of the records management and archives
community.
Please send comments to David Johnson, whose details are given on the web
page referred to below.
Our thanks to those who have sent comments already - quantity may have been
low but quality was high!
