Catalogue description Treasury: Committee Section: Minutes and Papers

The committees are generally in alphabetical order for each year. However, some of the 1948 committees at the beginning of the alphabet will be found at the end of the entries for that year, ie from T 277/41 onwards.

HM Treasury committee papers are a departmental record of the business of committees. A committee is formed because a division needs to monitor a certain area of work. The procedure for processing the work entails the issue of notice of meetings papers, agendas and minutes of meetings. In the main, once a committee is formed its lifespan is a year or more, but some committees are formed on an ad hoc basis and last for only a few months.
