Select Committee on Public Administration Written Evidence

Supplementary memorandum by Lord Turnbull KCB CVO

  The letter of 7 October from Sir Christopher's publishers referred to the page proofs i.e. after the manuscript had been sent to the publisher, and after it had been type set. It also said that Sir Christopher might want to make minor editorial changes. But there was no acknowledgement of the fact that the Cabinet Secretary would want to comment. This was not, in my view, a genuine attempt to seek approval.
