Agricultural Development and Advisory Service became an executive agency, the Farming and Rural Conservation Agency (FRCA), responsible for its own records management in 1992. PA series files in use at that time, (or created since), transferred to the custody of FRCA. Pre 1992 files remained in the custody and were the responsibility of MAFF.
