Notes:
1. The figures shown are based on administrative data. Although care has been taken in compiling the figures a degree of inaccuracy is inherent in all administrative recording systems.
2. There is no information available for 1999-2000.
3. It was not possible to check all publications in the time available. Some research projects have resulted in a considerable number of related publications in academic journals.
4. In some cases projects were co-funded with other departments. The data presented reflect only Ministry of Justice (or previously Home Office) costs.
5. All figures are rounded to the nearest thousand.

National Archives

Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what assessment he has made of the effect of recent staff re-organisations at junior levels at the National Archives on the services the Archives provide to the public; and if he will make a statement. [297552]

Mr. Wills: The National Archives has recently implemented a package of measures to make the savings required to ensure that they can live within their budget. In order to make these savings, the number of posts in the organisation has been reduced by 10 per cent., with half of these savings made through freezing vacancies, and the rest through restructuring to reduce the levels of management and administrative posts. This re-organisation has enabled the National Archives to make savings in back office functions and avoid reducing the quality of its services to the public, as seen in the continued 90 per cent. public satisfaction rates for its onsite services over the last two quarters. The National Archives has also increased by one the number of specialist posts providing expert support to researchers. There have been no compulsory redundancies, and the savings have been applied at senior as well as junior levels. I continue to receive regular reports from the National Archives regarding the provision of all its public services. Based on this, I am assured the restructuring will enable the National Archives to continue to meet its running costs and maintain the quality of its services.

Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what the cost to the public purse was of the recent refurbishment of reading rooms at the National Archives; and what proportion of the cost was met from (a) Exchequer and (b) grant funding. [297553]

Mr. Wills: The National Archives' public reading rooms were refurbished in 2008 in part to accommodate the services previously offered at the Family Records Centre, the relocation of which brought all services together under one roof and saved the National Archives over £1 million per year in the rent of a separate building. The cost of the refurbishment was £2.5 million, all of which was met from the Exchequer. The National Archives did not receive any additional funding for this project from the Exchequer above their existing budget.

Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what comprehensive (a) race equality and (b) gender equality assessments were undertaken as part of the most recent restructuring exercise at the National Archives. [297574]

Mr. Wills: Management at the National Archives produced a comprehensive equality impact assessment and staffing profile in preparation for the public and trade union consultation launched on 29 June 2009. This contained information on part-time workers, gender, disability and ethnic origin and was shared with the trade unions. The National Archives continues to update the trade unions with monthly meetings, and continues to provide openly the information it collects.

National Archives: Pay

Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many appointments to posts at the National Archives were made at a starting salary above the advertised (a) minimum and (b) maximum for the posts in each of the last three years. [297519]

Mr. Wills: Since February 2008, the National Archives, out of 245 appointments, has appointed 20 staff at a starting salary above the advertised minimum and five above the advertised maximum salary bands. The National Archives only retains data relating to appointments for 18 months.

Mr. Llwyd: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much the National Archives spent on staff salaries in each of the last three years. [297522]

Mr. Wills: Cost of staff salaries for each of the last three years is as follows:

£

2006-07

20,769,000

2007-08

23,769,000

2008-09

26,537,000


These figures are cash amounts for each year, and include contractors and agency staff employed on externally funded projects, as well as cover for permanent staff.

The figures for 2006-07 include costs for the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) for the second half of the financial year. OPSI staff joined the National Archives' payroll on 1 November 2006.

The figures for 2007-08 include OPSI for the full year, and staff from the Statute Law Database (SLD) who joined the National Archives on 12 December 2008.

The figures for 2008-09 include OPSI, SLD and externally funded project staff for Digital Continuity and the Civil Pages project.
