Jan. 01, 1967 - NEW 30-YEARS RULE ON GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. 20 years of Britain's best kept secrets were secret no longer, when the doors of the Public Records Office in Chancery Lane, London, opened this morning. Until now, historians had to wait 50 years for Cabinet papers to give up their secrets. The Government's decision to cut the waiting period to 30 years radically alters the situation.
