                        Members were invited to raise questions.

Councillor Clive Carver congratulated the Chief Officer (Organisational Change (1) and his team on the Flintshire Record Office achievement as the first archive repository in North Wales to gain accredited status by the National Panel 

Councillor Carver commented on the information that parish registers had been sent to DeepStore and expressed concerns that this may prohibit access to them by individuals undertaking research.  In his response the Chief Officer (Organisational Change (1) explained that prior to sending to DeepStore records were digitised/microfiched.  He advised that the primary records which were of most interest to the public and researchers were retained on site.  The Chief Officer said he would provide further information to Councillor Carver concerning which records had been sent to DeepStore.

That the Committee formally receives the report but that the  comments of Members be commended to the Policy & Performance team where necessary
