Emails & Law

[FirebarUK]

This should perhaps be in GD, but I thought I'd try in here...

Is there anything in British law that states companies must keep emails indefinately, incase they are required for future legal action etc? The same applies to browsing history. I'm having problems looking this up and finding an answer I thought you system admins would probably know anyhow

Many thanks for your input. It would be interesting to see if future government legislation will require this, as already said - due to anti-terrorism procedures etc.
