Archives still lack right care, but bid for law fails

Government archives are still not being properly cared for despite a survey nine years ago that found a third of 1,600 selected records were deteriorating - and some have been destroyed without authorisation by government bureaus or departments, the Audit Commission says.

As lawmakers voted down a motion calling for an archive law, the commission urged the government to speed up establishment of an electronic record-keeping system.
