Abstract
On 30 September 1976, the Treasury formally closed the THS and called a halt to writing Treasury histories. Looking back at the THS’s history, it is easy to view closure as almost inevitable, given the problematic course of the Treasury’s “funding experience” activities, their continued inability to impact significantly upon the everyday work of policymakers, and the repeated failure of remedial measures to retrieve the situation.
