Editorial comments:

Three documents are grouped as one here, Ingham having drawn them together. Read other documents selected from this file. The full file from which this item is taken can be seen here - PREM19-1591. Lobby briefing records rarely reach official files. Unfortunately none for 1984 have survived in the Ingham papers.
