While this activity is ongoing, a number of the files held at The National Archives (TNA) have been withdrawn from general access until that assessment is complete.

We appreciate the inconvenience caused by removing files from general access for assessment purposes. The MOD is working to conduct this activity as quickly as possible and we thank you for your patience during this period.
