Dear Northern Ireland Assembly,

Please can you tell me the following:

1) Do you send files to the National Archive in London. if so please can you tell me the time frame you keep files before sending.
2) If the answer to the above question is no, please can you tell me if you have your own national archive which is similar to the one in London
3) The UK government have retention instruments which prevents files being passed to the National Archive in the interests of security. Please can you tell me if you have this power and what is the legal instrument you have which stops files being passed to the national archive. If you do not have this power, please can you tell me who has the power to stop files being placed into the public domain.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,

Jonathan Mantle
