 * Andrew Marr wrote: "This man, Murdo Maclean, is the private secretary to the government Chief Whip but his job is far more important than that suggests. He is the go-between among the whips' offices and in many ways the individual who does more than anyone to ensure that business continues. As one former whip puts it, the whips' office 'quite often make up the constitution as we go along; we are always trying out new ideas.'" (Ruling Britannia (Michael Joseph, 1995), p. 121). —Noswall59 (talk) 21:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC).

Sir Murdo was one of the most senior civil servants in British post war history. The account on the page is accurate. I can confirm this having worked alongside Sir Murdo for a number of years and know him personally. Whitehall Court (talk) 23:33, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
