Comment to subsequent Paper.
Before minuting these papers, I think it will be very desirable to print them - doubtless they will eventually have to be laid before Parliament.
The following papers should be included to make the story complete:
5955/83, 7471/83 & public despatch thereon;
6921/83;
771/83 (with last 12515/83);
17206/03 + despatch;
18255/83.
