ENQUIRY FROM DR DAVID CLARKE
Reference: - email exchange 12 & 15 February 2001
1. We recently exchanged email on the subject of Forms 541 s (their non-survival).
The enquirer, Dr Clarke, has now written seeking information about the
Neatishead GCI (attached).
2. You will note that Dr Clarke has been advised "by a senior MOD source" that such
a record "would not have been destroyed and that even if this had been the case,
a record would have been made .." Clearly the MOD source is not familiar with
MOD regulations relating to the retention periods of destruction certificates.
However, I would welcome your comments about the fate of this type of record.
