In response to concerns stated by politicians and historians about management of the collection, the archives stressed that the number of missing files is quite small in proportion to the entire holdings of the repository – about 0.01% – and that, as of 2017, its loss rate was only around 100 documents, annually.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a><a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Forgeries_discovered_in_2005">Forgeries discovered in 2005</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=The_National_Archives_(United_Kingdom)&action=edit&section=28" title="Edit section: Forgeries discovered in 2005" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-Undue_weight_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section may lend <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Due_and_undue_weight" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">undue weight</a> to a single incident.

(January 2021)</div></td></tr></tbody></table> In June 2005, journalist Ben Fenton of <a href="/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph" title="The Daily Telegraph">The Daily Telegraph</a> received an email from a colleague asking him to investigate documents held at TNA that alleged that a British intelligence agent had, on the orders of <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a>, murdered <a href="/wiki/Heinrich_Himmler" title="Heinrich Himmler">Heinrich Himmler</a>, the head of the <a href="/wiki/Nazi" class="mw-redirect" title="Nazi">Nazi</a> <a href="/wiki/SS" class="mw-redirect" title="SS">SS</a>, in 1945.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> The three documents had come to prominence after being revealed by author Martin Allen in his book Himmler's Secret War.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> On viewing photographs of the documents, Fenton's suspicions were immediately aroused by the fact that such a controversial policy was casually committed to paper, even to the extent of naming the assassin, and by the use of colourful language.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> Viewing the original documents the next day, Fenton spotted what looked like pencil marks beneath the signature on one of them. This confirmed his suspicions and, along with his experience of analysing historic documents, it enabled him to persuade The Daily Telegraph to pay for <a href="/wiki/Forensic_analysis" class="mw-redirect" title="Forensic analysis">forensic analysis</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> TNA staff took four files, along with authenticated copies of the authors' handwriting, to Audrey Giles, a former head of <a href="/wiki/Scotland_Yard" title="Scotland Yard">Scotland Yard</a>'s Questioned Documents Unit, who confirmed that the documents were forgeries. One letter head had been printed on a <a href="/wiki/Laser_printer" class="mw-redirect" title="Laser printer">laser printer</a> and all had tear marks where they had been threaded on to the security tags. Further investigations by TNA staff revealed that the counterfeit documents contained errors, breaches of protocol and etiquette which their supposed authors would not have committed.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> After his account of the deception appeared in the newspaper, Fenton was contacted by a German academic, Ernst Haiger, who informed him of his own suspicions over other TNA documents cited in an earlier Allen book. Examination by TNA experts led to more than a dozen documents being identified as suspicious and submitted to <a href="/wiki/Home_Office" title="Home Office">Home Office</a> specialists for examination. When they, too, were declared forgeries, the TNA called in the police.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> In the addendum to the later American edition of the book (which acknowledged that the papers were forged), Allen theorised that, some time after he saw the documents, they had been removed and replaced with clumsily forged replicas, to cast doubt upon his discoveries.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> In all, twenty-nine forged documents were discovered, each typed on one of only four typewriters. They were placed in twelve separate files, and cited at least once in one or more of Allen's three books. According to the experts at TNA, documents now shown to be forgeries supported controversial arguments central to each of Allen's books: in Hidden Agenda, five documents now known to be forged helped justify his claim that the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Windsor" title="Duke of Windsor">Duke of Windsor</a> betrayed military secrets to <a href="/wiki/Hitler" class="mw-redirect" title="Hitler">Hitler</a>; in The Hitler/Hess Deception, thirteen forged papers supported Allen's contention that, in 1941, British intelligence used members of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Family" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Family">Royal Family</a> to fool the Nazis into thinking Britain was on the verge of a pro-German <a href="/wiki/Putsch" class="mw-redirect" title="Putsch">putsch</a>; in Himmler's Secret War, twenty-two counterfeit papers also underpinned the book's core claims that British intelligence played mind games with Himmler to encourage him to betray Hitler from 1943 onwards, and that ultimately they murdered the SS chief.<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> In 2007 the <a href="/wiki/Crown_Prosecution_Service" title="Crown Prosecution Service">Crown Prosecution Service</a> announced that it was "not in the public interest" to prosecute the only suspect questioned by police. Allen's health problems had prevented the police questioning him for nine months, after which he told them he was wholly innocent. In a December 2007 response to questions from <a href="/wiki/Norman_Baker" title="Norman Baker">Norman Baker</a> MP, the <a href="/wiki/Solicitor_General_for_England_and_Wales" title="Solicitor General for England and Wales">Solicitor-General</a> said that the police investigation, guided by the opinion of a senior barrister, had produced "sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction" on charges of forgery, using a forged document and criminal damage but it had been decided that it was not in the public interest to proceed. In reaching that decision, "matters relating to Mr Allen's health and the surrounding circumstances were significant in deciding that a prosecution was not in the public interest".<a href="#cite_note-FT080503-79">[79]</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">a well-planned attempt to corrupt the UK's primary source of historical information <div class="templatequotecite">— <cite>Detective Inspector Andy Perrott, Financial Times, 3 May 2008<a href="#cite_note-Fenton_unsolved-80">[80]</a></cite></div></blockquote> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote">It is hard to imagine actions more damaging to the cause of preserving the nation's heritage, than wilfully forging documents designed to alter our historical record. <div class="templatequotecite">— <cite>Historian Sir <a href="/wiki/Max_Hastings" title="Max Hastings">Max Hastings</a>, Financial Times, 3 May 2008<a href="#cite_note-Fenton_unsolved-80">[80]</a></cite></div></blockquote> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(9)"><h2 id="MI5_records_at_TNA">MI5 records at TNA</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=The_National_Archives_(United_Kingdom)&action=edit&section=29" title="Edit section: MI5 records at TNA" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-9 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-9"> TNA receives records from <a href="/wiki/MI5" title="MI5">MI5</a> around twice a year.<a href="#cite_note-mi5.gov.uk-81">[81]</a> Some information in records, or records themselves, are withheld at the discretion of MI5.<a href="#cite_note-mi5.gov.uk-81">[81]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="MI5_records_in_the_news">MI5 records in the news</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=The_National_Archives_(United_Kingdom)&action=edit&section=30" title="Edit section: MI5 records in the news" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> MI5 records relating to British Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher" title="Margaret Thatcher">Margaret Thatcher</a>'s time in office have caused some questions and controversy regarding the transparency of the British government.

some information that the public deserves to know.<a href="#cite_note-read-82">[82]</a> Norton-Taylor specifically refers to Thatcher's reluctance to allow the publication of two books looking into the impact that intelligence organizations of Britain had on World War II, as well as her worries about British activities in Northern Ireland becoming known to the general public.<a
