The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, with regard to its Records Management Manual, whether it will publish a list of lost files as referred to in paragraph 3.9 and give brief details of the subject matter of its lost files since 1999, and prior to that of each lost file of the Scottish Office which it is now responsible for maintaining under the Transfer of Property etc. (Scottish Ministers) Order 1999.
The answer
The list referred to in paragraph3.9 of the Executive’s Records Management Manual is a means to track downfiles which have been mislaid. It is not intended to be an ongoing list of lostfiles. However, we will publish a list of lost files as part of the Scottish Executive Publication Scheme as soon as this can be arranged.
