The Prime Minister has now seen the Foreign Secretary minute of 18 June responding to the Defence Secretary's minute of 20
ant
The Prime Minister has read the Hansard of the discussion of this issue in the House of Lords. His original doubts are reinforced and he thinks that we should not scrap Endurance.
I am copying this letter to Simon Gass (Foreign and Commonwealth Office), Nicholas Holgate (Chief Secretary's Office) and Sonia Phippard (Cabinet Office).
