PRIME MINISTER'S BILATERAL WITH THE FOREIGN SECRETARY: Special Ade.
WEDNESDAY 17 MARCH
I have written separately about the discussions at the bilateral with North Korea, Iraq, and two other issues. This note records the other points raised.
Ruud Lubbers
The Foreign Secretary said that relations between Mr Lubbers and the British Government were not as warm as they had once been, nor as he believed they could be. He thought it would be useful in particular to cultivate Mr Lubbers since he might well succeed Delors. It might, for example, be helpful if he were invited for a private weekend at Chequers.
The Prime Minister doubted whether that would be very productive. He thought it would be better to seek out issues where Dutch views and our own coincided and seek to build something on that. The Foreign Secretary said he would consider what might be done.
George Walden
The Prime Minister noted that Mr Walden had made public that he had changed his views on Maastricht; it had been suggested that he might be asked to write an article on the EC and the longer term. The Prime Minister himself doubted whether he would. The Foreign Secretary agreed, and thought that it would in any case look rather odd since it was not that long since he had been writing articles sceptical of the Maastricht Treaty.
