Conclusion

Unless colleagues wish to raise any objections to these proposals, I suggest that this minute should form the formal record of our conclusions about the application of the Radcliffe principles and that the Cabinet Secretary should be guided accordingly. Similar principles should be applied to memoirs by former officials.

I am copying this minute to Cabinet colleagues, the Attorney General, the Chief Whip and the Cabinet Secretary.
