The War Cabinet papers contain mainly of printed material, and some notes and correspondence. Although WSC did not become a member of the War Cabinet, he was present at some of its meetings and served on some of its committees. The papers in this class consist of papers produced or acquired by WSC which do not arise directly out of his functions as Minister of Munitions and Secretary of State for War and Air. There is, however, some overlap with the papers in CHAR 15 (Official: Munitions) and CHAR 16 (Official: War and Air).The papers consist mainly of War Cabinet papers on various subjects relating to the progress and conduct of the war. Subjects covered include: military production, summaries of the war situation, recruitment and the situation in the Soviet Union. There are also papers relating to the War Cabinet committees such as the Air Raids Committee, the Restriction of Imports Committee and the War Priorities Committee plus a series of "Foreign Office cables" (copies of telegrams from representatives of the Foreign Office) and weekly intelligence reports.
