Operational Selection Policies for public consultation

The National Archives has issued two draft Operational Selection Policies (OSPs) for public consultation. One is for government case files relating to competition (OSP 43) and the other for OFWAT, the Water Services Regulation Authority, (OSP 47). You can view these draft OSPs on our website.

The criteria for selecting public records for The National Archives and other archives are defined in the Acquisition and Disposition Strategy, published in March 2007. OSPs apply these criteria to the records of individual departments and agencies or to records relating to a cross-departmental theme. OSPs are normally the subject of public consultation before they are finalised.

Contribute your views

Please send your comments or queries to Elaine Baldwin for OSP 43 and Jeremy Harley for OSP 47. Alternatively you can write to them at The National Archives, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 4DU.

The consultation period will end on 10 March 2008.
