The custody of these records can only be traced back with certainty to 1972 when they were known to be in the custody of the Supreme Court Pay Office to 1975 and the Court Funds Office, thereafter, both at the Royal Courts of Justice London WC2A 2LL. During the 1980s the records were moved to the Public Record Office repository, 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 the behalf of the Department for Constitutional Affairs. In 2008 the records were briefly moved to Bishops Storage in Chessington, London, 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 preservation are in the custody of Bishops Storage in Chessington.
