Catalogue description Ministry of Public Building and Works and successors: Directorate of Contracts, Registered Files (CH Series).

This series contains registered files relating to policy on contractual matters, including works, labour and maintenance contracts.

A number of earlier files were re-registered into it from the CON, CG, and DG series. The CH series continued in use when the Directorate of Contracts passed to the Department of the Environment in 1970 and the Property Services Agency in 1972.
