 In the 1976 edition, almost all details were omitted save for his name, jobs as a member of parliament and as a Government Minister, and address; the publishers confirmed that Benn had sent back the draft entry with everything else struck through.In the 1977 edition, Benn's entry disappeared entirely, and when he returned to "Who's Who" in 1983, he was listed as "Tony Benn" and all references to his education or service record were removed.In 1972, Benn said in his diaries that "Today I had the idea that I would resign my Privy Councillorship, my MA and all my honorary doctorates in order to strip myself of what the world had to offer".
