Dear Sion Buckler

ATISN 26-0010

Thank you for your request which I received on 10 October. You asked for:

The retention and destruction schedules (or equivalent policy documents) that applied, or still apply, to former Welsh Office / Welsh Government file series covering agricultural tenancies, land ownership or compulsory purchase, rural depopulation, or related policy in the period 1970–1997.

Any recorded information identifying whether files in those series that would have related to Great House Farm / Tŷ Mawr / Llandough-juxta-Penarth, or to the companies Western Ground Rents Ltd or BP Properties Ltd, were destroyed, transferred or retained, and if destroyed the date and authority.

Confirmation of the repositories to which any surviving pre-1997 paper files from the relevant series were transferred (e.g. National Assembly / Welsh Government / The National Archives / other).

You will receive a response by 6 November. If you have any queries about this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at the address below. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future correspondence.

Yours sincerely
