Standardisation of Texts

All spellings conform to British standard, and since the text of speeches is essentially all from oral accounts, variant spellings of certain words, (e.g. ‘co-operate’ versus ‘cooperate’, or ‘judgement’ versus ‘judgment’) have been standardised. All such standardisations appear below.

All spellings of names conform to one spelling type regardless of variations that appear in original documents (e.g. Mohamed Ali Jinnah will never appear as Muhammad Ali Jinnah).
