The Secretary of State has seen your submission of 5 June together with the comments by Dr Wilson. He has commented that he agrees with all Dr Wilson's points. real "legal" question is essentially a practical one: whether we could get away with the course you recommend in practice in the GATT - and not whether, for example, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council would take the right view.
