Lloyd wrote two books, ""Mr Speaker, sir"" (1976) and ""Suez 1956: a Personal View"" (1978). "Suez 1956" was the first British admission that the Sevres meeting had taken place (it had already been disclosed by Dayan and Pineau). Sir Donald Logan had to help finish the research as Lloyd by then was ill and could not concentrate for longer than ten or fifteen minutes at a time. He insisted that there had been no "collusion" as Britain had acted in good faith, and had not "instigated" the Israeli attack. Nigel Nicolson thought the book "pathetic".
