B U
C
2. I recommend that Lord Glenarthur replies along the lines of
the attached draft. Mr Fifoot agrees.
Background
3. The draft reply is largely self explanatory. The text of
Mr Eggar's winding up speech is attached, together with the text of
Sir R Johnston's speech in the debate. The draft picks up all the
main points on the draft Basic Law made by Sir R Johnston during the
debate.
