Biographical / Historical

Points for Propaganda was a weekly compilation of official statistics, speech extracts and press references produced for Conservative workers, in a typescript, foolscap format, with variable number of pages each week. It began production in c.August 1936 and ceased in July 1939. Half-yearly subject indexes were also produced.

Issues prior to Feb 1938 do not survive. A note in the file dated 10/11/1938 states that the Points had hitherto been destroyed unless they contained something particularly interesting, but that Sir Joseph Ball, Director of the Conservative Research Department, wanted them kept in future.
