I am grateful for all the help I have received in providing material and checking facts. My friends Lord PrysDavies, Lord Rowlands, Dr Brinley Jones and Lord ElystanMorgan have made important observations which I have taken into account. I have also beneﬁted from factual assistance by Sir Richard Lloyd Jones, KCB, formerly of the Welsh Ofﬁce, and a number of other senior civil servants I have worked with, but the book is, of course, my sole responsi bility. The staff of the House of Lords Library, the Cabinet Ofﬁce and the Attorney General’s Department have also provided considerable documen tation, as well as the Public Records Ofﬁce at Kew. Lord Donoughue’s Diaries were an invaluable quarry for ministerial dis cussions in the 1970s, as were Dick Crossman’s diaries for an earlier period. My secretary, Maggie Stevenson, has been indefatigable in typing over 500,000 words and shown great patience in construing my offerings. I owe a great deal to my editor, Penny Thomas, for her valuable improvementsto the text.
