I am looking for any guidance on retention periods for research &
consultation and intelligence data in local authorities.
I have seen the Records Management Society of Great Britain's retention
guidelines which suggest common practice is to retain consultation-related
documents for either 1 or 5 years, depending on whether they relate to the
development of "significant" or "minor" policies.
I would be grateful for any comments on this, any more detailed guidance,
or sources of further information.
Thanks in advance.
