Items medium note
The series consists of agenda papers, draft minutes and prepared minutes of Cabinet meetings.
At this period, minutes of Cabinet meetings were kept informally by a Cabinet member present and hence they are bound into the series in the form in which they were taken, often on loose scraps of paper.
Within the series the papers are arranged by date of Cabinet meeting. Agenda numbers are assigned from cards.
The agenda item numbers do not govern the order of the submissions.
This series has been microfilmed and reference copies of the material are available for public use in the Search Room.
In 2017 the microfilm was digitized and uploaded to National Archives RecordSearch database. You may view the digital images at the following RecordSearch item entries:
