The Labour governments of 1964-70 are probably the best served of all post-war British administrations in terms of diaries being kept by ministers.[1]
In the mid-1970s a very detailed, three volume diary of the period was published by Richard Crossman, after a lengthy court battle over the legality of such revelations, and this was followed in 1984 by a substantial single volume of diaries from Barbara Castle

The Labour governments of 1964-70 are probably the best served of all post-war British administrations in terms of diaries being kept by ministers.[1]. Clear off a good deal of constituency work; receive six Ambassadors - including Libya and Lebanon who want to talk about Israel.
