CALLS ON THE MINISTER ON 19 JUNE BY NICHOLAS SOAMES, MP WITH MRS KENT

(FRIENDS OF CONSERVATION); AND BY TOM SACKVILLE, MP

I attach briefing on elephants and wildlife conservation for the above

meetings. A letter from Mrs Kent of 23 May to Nicholas Soames, MP,

personality notes on Mr Soames, MP and Mr Sackville, MP and a Hansard

report of a question from Mr Soames MP and the Minister's reply are also

attached.

2. The background brief is rather longer than normal: it includes

details of conservation issues which may be raised and of which the

Minister should be aware.

3. Dr Rundell will sit in on both meetings.
