An Elizabeth II British Government red Morocco leather dispatch case for the Colonial Office belonging to the 17th Earl of Perth Made by Barrow Hepburn & Gale Of typical form, with gilt embossed crowned cypher for Queen Elizabeth II above the words 'MINISTER OF STATE' and 'COLONIAL OFFICE', enclosing a void interior stamped 'BARROW HEPBURN & GALE LTD / GRANGE MILLS, S.E.1' together with a key, 46cm wide, 31cm deep, 11cm high (18in wide, 12in deep, 4in high) Footnotes: David Perth was Minister of State for Colonial Affairs from 1957 until 1962. Under Harold Macmillan's government, and in the wake of the Suez Crisis, he took on the role and became a key player in overseas countries' constitutional conferences on independence. In particular, he worked under Iain Macleod in his efforts to expedite the decolonisation of countries formerly under the British Empire in Africa. According to the current 19th Earl, one of David's anecdotes concerned Hastings Banda, the Prime Minister of Malawi at Independence in 1964, and President from 1966-1993. 'Hastings Banda came to dinner at my grandparents' apartment at Hyde Park Gardens soon after release from prison in 1960. The door was opened to Banda by an Irish maid who, much to their consternation, brightened on seeing him and enveloped him in an embrace. It turned out that he'd been their family doctor in Kilburn in the late 40's.'
