To ask Her Majesty's Government what are their intentions regarding the 30-year rule. [HL3974]
In October 2007, the Prime Minister invited Paul Dacre, Sir Joseph Pilling and Professor Sir David Cannadine to conduct a review of the 30-year rule. The review team published its findings in January 2009.
The Government have welcomed the team's findings and have committed to a substantial reduction to the 30-year rule, phased in over time. The Government will issue a detailed response to the review by the summer.
