Thanks for that, Jacqui.

I've now found and read the earlier press releases which gives more
information.

Never having visited the FRC (pre-school children makes it a bit
difficult!), I couldn't work out from the press releases what will be
left at FRC if ONS take the BMD indexes/books to Kew. Can anyone
enlighten me?
