Editorial comments: Available on CD-ROM only. Between 1600 and 1700. Other national papers also carried accounts - there must have been a press release, but none has been traced. The Daily Telegraph report suggests that MT’s remark about Britain being far more trouble inside than out was "added lightheartedly".
