Selection and destruction information (Information about how the record was selected for archiving)
- This series was raised in 1992 to accept records in the CF file series selected for permanent preservation at that time. The selected records were subsequently mislaid, it is thought during the relocation of FCO Library and Records Department from London to Milton Keynes, and have not yet come to light. It cannot therefore be estimated if or when any transfers into this series will take place.
