Having got back to my desk (I was in the searchroom when I sent my original reply) and checked the details the JISC report, it actually says: 'Records generated by some types of research will need to be retained in accordance with specific legal provisions which apply to the type of research involved. Scientific research may be subject to the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations. Scientific research involving clinical work on humans is subject to the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Regulations. Primary data generated by non-scientific projects should be retained for a minimum of 5 years after completion of the project concerned.'
