She called on me yesterday and I thought that

a good deal of the steam had gone out of her on this issue. Never the less she could still attempt to interest MPs and thus provoke correspondence you would have to deal with. I am therefore sending you for the record a fairly complete file:-

a)

Her original letter

b)

Copies of letters from me, asking for comments, to:-

(i) The Chief Justice

(ii)

Sir Sidney Gordon, Chairman of the new UMELCO Committee on Complaints Against The Police

(iii) The Chairman of the Bar Association

(iv) The Chairman of the Law Society

c)

The Chief Justice's comments

d)

Sir Sidney Gordon's comments
