Is the Prime Minister aware that students of history at Eton and Oxford are greatly handicapped because no official historian has written the story of the war in Suez? Is he satisfied that this history should be written by a Chicago professor who, if his version is correct, has some very serious aspersions to cast upon the Lord Privy Seal? Are there not unemployed historians in this country who are perfectly capable of writing the history, including one eminent Oxford historian, Mr. A. J. P. Taylor?
