Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether any new Official Histories have been commissioned since the publication of the Joe Pilling Review into the Official History Programme in 2008; and if so, what Official Histories have been commissioned and when.

The Cabinet Office, as part of a consortium including the FCDO and MoD, has a non-exclusive contract with Taylor Francis, Routledge’s Parent Company, for the publication of Official Histories.

No new official histories have been commissioned since the Pilling Review and no histories of devolution or policy towards Yugoslavia have been commissioned.

The Official History Programme had a budget of £7,500 in 2016-17 but has not had a separate budget since then.
