The impact of these younger Conservative and Tory historians has still to be felt ;since their work has been cut across by two develepents ,both the result of the effort begun in 1963 by a group of senior historians ,many of whom were connected with the Cabinet Office historical branch or the Foreign Office Research Department (responsible for the publication of two sets of series ,Documents on German Foreign Policy ,and Documents on British Foreign Policy ),to obtain a revision of the 1958 Public Record Act so as to lower the limits of the closed period for public archives from fifty years to thirty. Their campaign was fired by the apprent ease with which ex-ministers could obtain access to the papers dealing with their period in office to produce what were widely believed to be partial,if not partisan ,defences of their record while in office ;their individual protests were so abruptly rejected by Mr Macmillan before his retirement from office in 1963 that they were driven to lobby the Cabinet Office collectively .The subsequent debate within the government and Cabinet Office took place against a background of two general elections (1964and1966)and was dependent upon the agreement of a committee of Privy Councillors drawn from all three parties .The debate lasted for four years until the Public Record Act of 1967 lowered the closed period to thirty years ,and began ,with each New Year'Day ,a rush of journalists and historians to skim the cream off each fresh release of papers .They were to be followed by a new group of professional cream-skimmers ,‘instant historians’，the urgency of whose publisher'dead-lines made any collation with other source ,let alone any possibility of serious digestion and rethinking of the idees recues ,virtually impossible .Some of these had been participants in the events they now re-examined,as,for example ,the late Ian Colvin who as the News Chronicle correspondent expelled from Berlin at the end of March 1939 had brought back false information as to the imminence of a German attach on Poland which had helped the British cabinet to reach its hurried decision to guarantee Poland .Some had already shown in their biographical studies of the past that new evidence did little to change minds already set in their views .The majority ,however ,had no excuse other than the willingness of their publishers to issue and of the public to absorb works ,the novelty of whose source materials did nothing to upset the received ideas of the past.
