found in your archives. I have contacte t Information - Records 1 in
Great Scotland Yard and he informs me that these files are shown on the return he had
from yourselves (dated September 2000) for review in 2005. I would, therefore, be
grateful if you could conduct a search for these files and indicate to me asap whether
they are held at Hayes. ~ot there, is there anywhere else they may have
been sent, other than to~ho assures me his Department do not have them.
The files concerned are:

I would appreciate an early response as this concerns a request for information under
