Abstract
Early access to the papers of the Fulton Committee on the Home Civil Service of 1966-68, and to the still unpublished oral evidence that the Committee received, which has been officially granted to the author, enables the manner in which the Committee shaped its Report, and particularly the controversial opening Chapter of that Report to be studied fully for the first time. * The author gratefully acknowledges the support of the Economic and Social Research Council. The work was funded by E.S.R.C. award R000231033. The material drawn from the papers of the Fulton Committee of 1966-68 (PRO: BA1/1-97), and hence, from within the period still covered by the Thirty Year Rule is reproduced by permission of the Secretary of the Cabinet and Head of the Home Civil Service, and the Keeper of the Public Records. The papers of Lord Simey of Toxteth, which are referred to in the text, are housed in the University of Liverpool. The papers of Lord Fulton of Falmer will be eventually housed in the University of Sussex but they are now available to scholars. The papers of Lord Crowther-Hunt are to be housed eventually in the Bodleian Library at Oxford, but they will be unavailable to scholars for the foreseeable future, and scholars should note that the box numbers given relate to the provisional sort.
