The subjects covered by the records include such as Vietnamese refugees, film classification and censorship, Daya Bay nuclear power project, transport policy, financial arrangements for the new airport, occupational health and the Office of the Commissioner for Administrative Complaints.
Among the types of documents contained in the files are memoranda, draft speeches, letters, notes of meetings, reports, discussion papers, briefing notes, publications, extracts from Notes of Legislative Council In-house meetings and press cuttings.
