   I love this bit:   
   "The paper records will be kept secure by The National Archives at their   
   offsite storage facility and readers at The National Archives at Kew   
   will be directed to the digital version. This is to ensure the   
   preservation of the paper records for years to come."   
      
   Ok...so the records will be kept safe, but nobody can actually see   
   them, so which future generations are going to be able to see them?   
   Aren't we the future generation?   
      
   Love these sites, where they want all of our information for free but   
   to get anything back costs a substantial amount.
