Public authorities

Where a public authority ceases to exist and no other public authority will take over the functions of that public authority, records will be given to the State Archivist or another public authority (known under the repealed Public Records Act 2002 as the relevant public authority) decided by the Archivist to manage and make decisions about restricted access periods and access to restricted records in the custody of QSA (known as the responsible public authority under the repealed Public Records Act 2002).

The tables below lists relevant and responsible public authorities established under the Public Records Regulation 2014.
