Helen As this came up in an earlier query I am re-posting a slightly edited version Nick Kingsley's reply to David Hay of BT from that occasion (15 October 2008), which I think needs little further comment: Colleagues, David Hay raised an interesting question about the status of the records of the newly nationalised and partly nationalised financial institutions in his message to the list on Monday. However, the acquisition of equity in, or nationalisation of, a company does not automatically make its records Public Records under the terms of the Public Records Acts, as the example of Rolls Royce, nationalised for a time by the government under Edward Heath, makes clear. We therefore have no plans to regard the records of Northern Rock or the Bradford & Bingley as Public Records.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Raymond, Helen Sent: 10 February 2010 15:20 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Question regarding records of publicised banks I'm hoping someone on this list might be able to answer a particular records management related question of mine : After the government's recent takeover of several banks such as Northern Rock, have the records belonging to these institutions become public, or are they still considered private business records?
