Note: Taken

Dear Royer

This is just to confirm that the Prime Minister has agreed that Mr. Luce should be authorised to invite the unofficial members of EXCO to call on her at 0930 on 7 October. We have set aside 2 hours in the diary for this meeting.

This is also to confirm that the Prime Minister would like to hold a meeting with the Foreign Secretary and Defence Secretary at 1630 on Wednesday, 5 October, to prepare for the meeting with EXCO. No doubt you will be arranging for Sir Edward Youde and Sir Percy Cradock to attend this meeting as well.

I am copying this letter to Richard Mottram (Ministry of Defence).

Yours

ever

Willie Rickett

R.B. Bone, Esq.,

Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
