12 October, 1770
E.E.C. and the UNCTAD Preferences Scheme
You may remember that you consulted me personally on the 11th August about the possible exclusion of textiles from our Unctad Generalised Freferences offer; and I replied in my letter 6/5 of the 13th August.
When I talked to Dahrendorf on the evening of the 9th October (our telegram Codel 113) I also said to him that I very much hoped that he was not upset by our exclusion of textiles from our offer.

I am glad to say that he said that he was not in the least disturbed; and 1 have already made it my business to telephone Sigrist, his Director General, to make him aware of what Dahrendorf said.

May I leave it to you to give this letter any distribution in Whitehall which you consider appropriate.
