The government has today announced its decision to bring HMC and the PRO
together from 1 April 2003 to form a new body, the National Archives. This
is as a result of the quinquennial review of HMC conducted in 2000-2001 by
Sir Geoffrey Chipperfield. Further information about this, and the
Commissioners' response to the Chipperfield report, are given in Issue No 5
of the HMC Newsletter, published today on the Commission's website
http://www.hmc.gov.uk/pubs/electronic.htm. The Chipperfield report itself
is also published today by DCMS and is available on the Department's
website http://www.culture.gov.uk/heritage/RCHM_stage_one_report.html.
