'On Friday 2 April 1982 Argentina invaded the Falklands, triggering
a major political crisis and bringing to a very abrupt end the
tenure of Britain's much-admired Foreign Secretary, Peter
Carrington. His resignation on Monday the 5th, along with that of
two of his colleagues in the department, helped to cauterise the
deep political wound, although healing was only complete when the
war was won and the Franks Inquiry the following year largely
exonerated the government of blame for its outbreak. Lord
Carrington later served with great success as NATO Secretary
General, 1984-88.
margaretthatcher.org noticed that his Private Office papers from
the Foreign and Commowealth Office (FCO) were not appearing at the
National Archives in Kew each year and made an FOI request for
their review. We here publish some of the resulting release, a
cache of some 250 documents relating to the Falklands apparently
collated for submission to Franks. A handful are still being held
back, probably because they relate to intelligence matters. This is
the first big release of British Falklands files covering
1981-82.'
