Document type: Declassified documents
Source: PREM19/1717 f137
Editorial comments: The notable item in this cache of papers is the “case conference” on Lloyds, a most unusual and revealing account of legal thinking. The Law Officers’ Department archives as little as it dare, and releases even less, so this counts as a rare survival. The full file from which this item is taken can be downloaded here.
