Lord Roberthall was economic adviser to a succession of Labour and
Conservative governments from 1947 to 1961. During that time, he
served under eight Chancellors and exercised more influence on
economic policy than perhaps any other official. Fortunately -
though it was contrary to Civil Service rules - he kept a diary in
which he documented and reflected on day-to-day events. This second
volume, published in 1991, covers the years between 1954 and 1961,
after Robert Hall's appointment as Economic Adviser to HM
Government. The book includes details of conferences and
negotiations in Australia, the United States and Canada, as well as
accounts dealing with the struggles to contain inflation and
moderate wages. This is a highly readable and fascinating account
of what went on inside government in the post-war years. The book
provides a unique picture of the relationship between Whitehall and
Downing Street, and those people who shaped this challenging period
in British economic history. Edited by Sir Alec Cairncross, who
succeeded Lord Roberthall as Economic Adviser to HM Government in
1961, this reissue will interest any student researching policy and
decision-making in the post-war period.
