Abstract
Chapters 3, 4 and 5 cover the Secretaries of State for Defence from 1979 to 1986 under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The first Secretary of State, Francis Pym, did not share Thatcher’s belief in strict cash controls on government spending with the same enthusiasm as his successors at defence, John Nott and Michael Heseltine. He also differed from them in believing that Parliament’s ability to scrutinise government decision-making should be strengthened.
