During the 1980s the records were moved to the Public Record Office repository at Hayes Middlesex UB3 1RF. In 2003, the records were temporarily held in the basement of the Court Funds Office in 22 Kingsway, London WC2B 6LE before being moved in the same year into private storage at Bishops Furniture Storage in Battersea London acting on behalf of the Department for Constitutional Affairs. In 2008 the records were moved to Bishops Storage in Chessington, Surrey before being moved in 2009 to Harwell Laboratories in Oxfordshire for preparation for transfer to the National Archives. The remaining records that were not selected for transfer continue to be held by Bishops on behalf of the Ministry of Justice in Chessington Surrey. |
