The starting-date of 31 October 1938 has been chosen because there was a Cabinet reshuffle at the end of October in which a number of lesser posts changed hands. The only other changes before the outbreak of war were (1) on 29 January 1939, involving Morrison (now understudying Chatfield in the Commons), Dorman-Smith, MacDonald, Inskip and Chatfield, and (2) on 21 April, involving Burgin and Wallace (Burgin could not become Minister of Supply proper until legislation had passed through Parliament). Ministers involved in the Cabinet ‘mutiny’ of the evening of 2 September, at one or other of the meetings with Sir John Simon, are indicated by ‘(M)’; regular attenders at the Foreign Policy Committee by an asterisk (*).
