In this first of two episodes featuring books about the former Labour Cabinet Minister John Stonehouse, who effected a ‘Reggie Perrin’ style disappearance in Miami in 1974 and was subsequently sent to prison, Iain Dale talks to Julian Hayes, John Stonehouse’s Great Nephew about his book STONEHOUSE: CABINET MINISTER, FRAUDSTER, SPY. In the next episode Iain talks to Stonehouse’s daughter Julia, who gives a decidedly different version of events to her cousin.
