FORMER prime minister David Cameron's autobiography – For The Record – will be published in the autumn, its publisher has said.
The book will be released on September 19 – a month before the October 31 date the EU has given the Government to get a Brexit deal through Parliament.
He will give "for the first time, his perspective on the EU referendum and his views on the future of Britain's place in the world in the light of Brexit".
Publisher William Collins tweeted: "We are pleased to announce that @WmCollinsBooks will publish former Prime Minister David Cameron's autobiography this autumn.
"For The Record will be released on Thursday 19th September, in hardback, ebook and audio."
In a statement, it added: "In For the Record, he will explain how the governments he led transformed the UK economy while implementing a modern, compassionate agenda that included reforming education and welfare, legalising gay marriage, honouring the UK's commitment to overseas aid and spearheading environmental policies.
"He will shed light on the seminal world events of his premiership - the Arab Spring; the rise of ISIS; the invasion of Ukraine; the conflicts in Libya, Iraq and Syria – as well as events at home, from the Olympic Games in 2012 to the Scottish referendum."
Cameron was reported to have bought a £25,000 shepherd's hut to provide him with a place in his Oxfordshire garden to write the book.
Last month it was reported he had given Theresa May a private understanding that he would not publish the autobiography until after Britain had left the European Union.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
