BBC Radio 4’s 'Archive on 4' on Saturday 18th May will feature the History of Parliament’s oral history project, linking it to Josiah Wedgwood’s questionnaires and biographies of the 1930s. Presented by Matthew Parris and produced by Mike Greenwood, it includes extracts from several of the interviews conducted as part of the oral history project, as well as digging into the surviving questionnaires from our archives, comparing the experience of being an MP in the 1930s and in the 1950s, 1960s and later.
