Lord Hanningfield

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether any government files or records were destroyed in the fire on the 13th and 14th July at the paper records warehouse in Twelvetrees Crescent, Bow, London; and, if so, what those files or records contained. [HL7177]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs
(Baroness Ashton of Upholland)

The National Archives (TNA) did not store any files or other records at the paper warehouse in Twelvetrees Crescent, Bow, London. We are asking government departments if they have lost records. I will write to the noble Lord with this information shortly.
