Summary

[Note: unlike 1979 and 1983, where various departmental reports were collated by the Party Chairman into a single report, Norman Tebbit, Party Chairman during the 1987 General Election campaign, stepped down from this post immediately following the election and so did not produce a similar report on the 1987 campaign]
