HC Deb 28 July 1964 vol 699 c272W
Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Prime Minister if he will appoint an official historian to write the history of the negotiations which have resulted in the granting of independence to former Colonies.

The Prime Minister

As a general rule, official histories have been confined to the major wars in which the country has been involved. I see no reason to depart from that practice.
