MOTION FOR THE CHRISTMAS |ADJOURNMENT
The motion for the Christmas Adjournment will be debated on 18 December starting at about 3.30 pm and lasting a maximum of
1.
3 hours. The Leader of the House (Mr Biffen) has asked for
briefing material for his use in winding up the debate.
2. In the past, briefing has been required on any FCO matter which may be raised by backbenchers as reasons why "the House should not adjourn". Instead, on this occasion it has been decided to concentrate on only a few highly topical issues.
The subject of concern to your Department is number of the attached list.
3.
4.
As always, material should be succinct.
6.
The brief should
be in the form of a speaking note (unclassified) (not more than one half side of a page, double spaced), supplemented by a separate brief background note (not more than one side of a page, double spaced).
5.
I should be grateful if your brief could reach me by NOON on Wednesday 12 December at the latest. At the same time would you please let me have the name and phone number of an official who Y will be 'on call' in case additional briefing is required during the
debate.
6. The attached note on the presentation of briefs may be useful to your Secretarial Staff.
