10 April 1974

1.

Some time last year I brought/your attention to an office circular about the proper treatment of Government Whips during their visits abroad, in view of their status as junior Ministers.

2.

I hope you will forgive me for reminding you of this guidance which is enshrined in DSP Volume 1 (Extract attached for ease of reference). You are no doubt already aware that the new Government Whips are as follows:-

Lords Commissioners

Donald Coleman, Esq, MP James A. Dunn, Esq., MP John Golding, Esq, MP James Hamilton, Esq, MP Thomas Pendry, Esq, MP

Assistant Whips

Michael Cocks, Esq, MP Thomas Cox, Esq, MP Ernest G. Perry, Esq, MP JD Dormand Esq, MP Laurie Pavitt, Esq, MP
