basis for discussion. If he can be persuaded to lend support
on the issue, discussion might be widened to include Mr Carey;
he may alternatively suggest that this is taken up at higher
official level (e.g. in correspondence at Deputy Secretary
level). If Mr Goldsmith feels unable to move in the matter
or indicates that we cannot expect official support in the
Board of Trade, then I think we have no alternative but to
lift this to ministerial level straightaway.
