<sod>The concept of the review was initiated by the CPRS in late 1975 and was taken up by the [[Foreign Secretary]], [[James Callaghan]], who asked for the review to be extended to the [[BBC]] and the [[British Council]]. Callaghan also asked the CPRS to undertake the review. However, according to [[Joe Haines]] (Press Secretary to Prime Minister [[Harold Wilson]]) even before the proposals were shown to Callaghan the Foreign Office intervened: “the document he eventually saw, and approved, was modified – or doctored – on the way to his desk. The original proposals were not acceptable to senior F.C.O. officials, and the head of the C.P.R.S., Sir Kenneth Berrill, was asked to make deletions before it was put to the Secretary of State. That was agreed. The document placed before Jim Callaghan was not the original one.” <ref>Joe Haines (1977) The Politics of Power ISBN 0 340 22275 1</ref><eod>
