Books by Chris Moncrieff

Chris Moncrieff, CBE, was formerly Political Editor of the Press Association. He joined the agency's parliamentary staff in 1962, was appointed a lobby reporter in 1973 and Chief Political Correspondent (later Political Editor) in 1980. When he reached official retirement in 1994, more than 100 MP's of all parties tabled a Commons motion congratulating him on his 'tireless devotion to duty'. Mrs Thatcher, a great admirer, made him a CBE in the 1989 New Years Honours for services to Parliamentary journalism. Her former Press Secretary, Sir Bemard Ingham, says of him: He is the nearest approach to the 24-hour journalist I have ever known, a straight reporter who writes without any spin. Chris, 70, has been profiled by both the BBC and ITV
