- The monograph involved the collection and analysis, over three years, of an extensive body of primary and archival material, stored in London, Manchester, Oxford, and Warwick. Most of it was previously unpublished, due to the originality and specificity of the subject-matter, namely the adoption, drafting, elite-level arguments over, and eventual abandonment, of a particular key policy in 1969. The policy caused major internal conflict between several institutional actors (individual Ministers, the Cabinet, Parliamentary Labour party, the trade unions), and nearly led to the resignation of a Prime Minister. It was also variously blamed for Labour’s 1970 election defeat.
