This series consists of two sets, each of twenty-six brown visidex folders. The set held by Australian Archives has white spine labels bearing the title: "Spare Set - Seventh Menzies Ministry - Cabinet Submissions (Second Series)" together with the volume number and range of submission numbers.

Each folder contains submissions for consideration by Cabinet or a Cabinet Committee, arranged in numerical order with the related decision, and in some cases, covering minutes for submissions withdrawn or dealt with outside Cabinet, and briefing notes.
 
This series is an artificial series, having been copied in 1982-1983 by the Cabinet Office from the original papers kept in CRS A4940, Cabinet files, 'C' single number series, 1958-1967. To aid retrievability and accessibility, the series contents date range in this instance indicates the dates of the original papers that were copied from CRS A4940 and not the actual age of the copies themselves (1982-1983).

From 1958-1967 Cabinet Office discontinued its practice of maintaining folders of submissions and associated documents. Instead, all papers pertaining to a submission and its consideration by Cabinet or a Committee of Cabinet, were placed on a file in the contemporary file series (CRS A4940). In 1982 it was decided that the gap in submission and decision sets caused by this temporary practice should be filled, and so, relevant papers were copied to form this series and its predecessor, CRS A5818.
 
There are some gaps in the series due to the practice of allocating blocks of submission numbers for use by Treasury at budget time, and the fact that not all these numbers were then used. There is only one submission actually missing: No. 503 from volume 13.
 
Although there are several registers of submissions there is no subject index. A subject index was created for the "C" files (CRS A4940) but cannot be used as a point of entry to the submissions or decisions because it refers only to the appropriate "C" file number, not to the submission or decision number. It is possible to identify relevant submissions through the function they represent, by consulting CRS A4937, a register of submissions arranged by the Minister sponsoring, which also gives the relevant decision number.

All submissions in this series have been entered separately onto the item level database, ANGAM II, and each entry provides a cross reference to the associated decision(s) as at August 1993.
