Subject to the legal rights of any person—

(a)

during the course of the inquiry, the chairman must have regard to the need to ensure that the record of the inquiry is comprehensive and well-ordered; and

(b)

at the end of the inquiry, the chairman must transfer custody of the inquiry record to a department of Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom or to the appropriate public record office, as the Minister directs.
