Description (What the record is about)
-
Paper Nos. 21(40) - 70(40).
Chiefs of Staff Weekly Resumes 25, 26, 27 and 28 are missing from CAB 66 because, on 19 February 1940, the War Cabinet decided to ask for monthly reports rather than weekly (see CAB 65/5/46). However, on March 18 1940 the War Cabinet agreed to revert to weekly resumes (see CAB 65/6/16). The missing weekly resumes 25-28 are to be found in CAB 80/8/71 (Chiefs of Staff Committee Memoranda).
