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.
