Material from the Cullen Inquiry into the Dunblane school shootings in UK, which was subject to a 100-year closure order, will be released to the public in 2096
No idea…but the Brits seem to like this kind of thing. Think about the lease on Hong Kong (before they let it go of course)…

A lot should be released in 2012 actually - it’s the 30 year rule of the Official Secrets Act (Wiki link). However, certain secrets can be kept secret for 50 or 100 years. For instance, some spies may still be alive, so it would be wrong to release their names until they’re dead. Also, certain secret technology used in 1982 may still be in use, so that will need to be kept secret.
Just to point out that most of the Inquiry was made public in 2005. The parts that are sealed are the details of the victims, medical records, post-mortem details, crime scene photographs etc. No-one really needs to see those, I think.
