Abstract

The Cabinet Office recently blocked publication of Lord Mountbatten’s diaries. Iain McLean, Scot Peterson, and Richard Reid write that this is not the first time when archives funded by the taxpayer have not been available after the standard embargo period, the effect being that public knowledge of key constitutional and political events is limited.
