The records were not selected for permanent preservation by The National Archives as they did not fall within their selection criteria. They were presented to the Wellcome Trust by the Lord Chancellor under s.3(6) of the Public Records Act 1958 and thereby cease to be public records and become the property of the Wellcome Trust.
