Editorial comments: 0930-1130. This is a more polished version of the text than the "rough" notes from which it is derived. It gains in readability, but the "rough" text reveals more. Only part of the Conference transcript survives in the Conservative Party Archive, but it brings one closer to the actual deliberations of Heath's Shadow Cabinet than other records of the time.
