FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR HADDON-CAVE FROM MRS HEDLEY-MILLER:

Hello

15.19

RUSSELL BARRATT IS AWAY BUT I KNOW THAT HE HAD HOPED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE ADVANCE NOTICE ABOUT THE GUARANTEE EXTENSION. BUT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NECESSARY TO MOVE QUICKLY AS SOON AS WE HAD DECISIONS FROM THE NEW GOVERNMENT, AND THIS LEFT NO TIME FOR LONGER ADVANCE NOTICE. REGARDS; MARY HEDLEY-MILLER.
