| AccessConditions | The records of the Street Collections Sub-Committee, later Public Collections Sub-Committee are closed for 50 years, in line with the blanket closure period established for sub-committee minutes. In some instances, the minutes have been bound with the main Watch Committee record or with other sub-committee records that contain more sensitive personal data relating to police officers and offenders (including minors), in which case the records have been closed for the longer period of 100 years in compliance with the Data Protection Act, 1998. |
| AdminHistory | The Street Collections Sub-Committee was formed in January 1921, and consisted of various numbers of members that regulated the permission required and the accounts for street collections made on behalf of charities and other organisations. After the House to House Collections Act of 1939, the name of this sub-committee was changed to the Public Collections Sub-Committee in July 1940. The sub-committee was disbanded when the function was transferred to the Public Safety Committee in June 1965 (see BCC/1/DF). |
