Editorial comments:	Vaizey wrote MT with wit and warmth on 17 February 1975 congratulating her on being elected leader and offering his help. He offered her, as a gift on her election, the slogan "Service, Prudence, Foresight" and commented that when he closed his eyes and listened to her voice "your vowels are pure north", speculating that Grantham had a Danish inheritance.
