I have been asked by a third party to raise a question with the list - to find out if record offices have been taking any action to collect records of the former Agriculture Development and Advisory Service ( known as ADAS) which was privatised in 1997 and now trades as ADAS.
There is interest among historians to secure the survival of some of the records created about ADAS's dealings with clients, which are unlikley to have been identified as material which TNA will have for permanent preservation, and I have been asked to find out if any offices have alread started to collect this material, either through being contacted by ADAS, or because the office itself has initiated the process.
Please reply to me offline. If there is sufficient information forthcoming I will summarise and post back to the list.
