For the Record is a memoir by former British Prime Minister David Cameron, published by William Collins, an imprint of HarperCollins UK, on 19 September 2019.

It was reported that Cameron signed an £800,000 contract with HarperCollins UK in 2016 for the rights to the publication of a 'frank' account of his time in Downing Street.

[4] It covers his decision to call the 2016 referendum on the UK's European Union membership and its outcome, which led him to quit as Prime Minister and as MP for Witney two months later.

The book addresses the effects of the severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy suffered by Cameron's son Ivan who died at the age of 6.

William Collins' overview said that Cameron gives "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".

Excerpts of For the Record were published in The Times in the week before the book's release and Cameron became the final interview for outgoing BBC Radio 4 Today presenter John Humphrys.

"[11] John Rentoul, the chief political commentator for The Independent, compared the book to Tony Blair's memoir, A Journey, and said "Cameron makes his case with style.

He details a patrician, gilded, almost Edwardian upbringing, growing up in a Berkshire rectory with a nanny, boarding school at the age of seven, Eton, Oxford.
