Kenneth Clarke's term as Chancellor of the Exchequer covered from 1993 to 1997 whereas these papers date from 1988 to 1999. The difference in these dates can be explained by the transitional arrangements at the beginning and end of his term in this role; i.e. records from the ongoing business of his predecessor being required for business continuity and the need for certain aspects of his late term work to be concluded. |
