Officers not getting filing done properly, clerks 'too busy' etc.
When I did my tour in MoD(PE) many years ago, they had long gotten rid of "registries" and "registry clerks" so no one was employed to do filing. I worked with one civvy project manager who never filed a thing, but kept the papers in a cabinet for 2 years. If he didn't look at them in that time, they went in the bin. Funnily enough, he worked on Jaguar avionics.
