TELEGRAM ON THE GODBER CASE FROM MR ELLIS

As you

1. Mr Ellis has sent a rather extravagantly worded telegram

to Mr Royle concerning the extradition of Mr Godber.

will see, it suggests intervention by The Queen, which is not

a practical proposition.

2.

As Mr Ellis is his constituent Mr Royle will presumably

wish to send a factual reply.

3.

I attach a draft reply which has been cleared with the

department's Legal Adviser.
