You may wish to bring some of these points forward into the draft letter.

DRAFT LETTER

Paragraph 2(b): are we now fixed on 30th June 1997, notwithstanding the possibility of a grand exodus ?

Paragraph 3, last sentence: should we not make it clear that the legislation could be by Order in Council rather than Act ?

Paragraph 6 lines 9 and 11: "well above" rather than "far above " ? and certainly "at worst" rather than "in extremis".

Paragraph 7, last sentence: do you not think that there should be a reference to the 5% here and not only in the Annex ?

Somewhere: Would it be wise to add a reminder that the question of the right to retire with immediate payment of pension is still outstanding ?

The Compensation Annex: The "guestimates" do not add up to the summarico. -Option A should be up to £ 34-39m"; Option C should be "£51 54m"; Option D should be "£42 - 40m".
