ABSTRACT
A week later, 23 May, Wilson summoned Healey and Wigg, the Lord Chancellor, Attorney-General, and senior officials from Departments directly concerned, to discuss how to respond to the Report and its supporting evidence when published. It was decided publication should be on 8 June, with a House of Commons debate the following week. The principal political decisions of the meeting were that, for reasons of counter-balance to the starkness of the Conclusions, the non-secret parts of the evidence taken by the Radcliffe Committee should be published; and that a White Paper should be published simultaneously with the Report, giving the Government’s response.
