Secretary opens 'Sent Items' and takes a screenshot of the listing. 12. Secretary prints hard copies of the sent emails and files them in the box file, with the printed screenshot appended as a true and accurate record of the communication. 13. The master box file is photocopied by hand for the nightly despatch to the archive, in order to preserve historic government communications for the nation. 14. An additional physical duplicate of the box file is prepared for the Minister's country residence (and sent by Government Despatch Service van) in line with CO/4554/87b: Efficient Working from the Home, and The Taking of Government Administrative Business to the Regions.
