Economy: Minute to MT ("Extract from Informal Cabinet Meeting 8 May 1978, 2:30pm") [delay to abolition of Price Commission] [declassified 2009]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: PREM19/35 f164
Editorial comments: 14:30. The document is headed '8th May 1978', but this is clearly a mistake, since the document refers to a cabinet meeting and to Nott's minute of the 7th May 1979. Presumably '1978' was accidentally written instead of '1979' by whoever headed the document. The full file from which this item is taken can be seen here.
