In conclusion, Ministers may agree that -

Mr Gardiner's motion might be talked out; its terms are, however acceptable;

no decision can yet be reached on Mr Hamilton's motion;

reached; if it were, it should be talked out.

I am copying this letter to the Private Secretaries to the Members of Legislation Committee and the Private Secretaries to the Secretaries of State for the Home Department, Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Employment and Transport. I would be grateful if any comments on this letter could reach me by 11.00am on Monday 5 July.

Yours sincerely,

Bob Whalley
