Thursday 25th June 1981

Very tired after all this tension.

Saw [Sic]

Lunch with Em Kaye, Terrence Beckett + VC (CBI) + Chairman +TL [Tim Lankester]. Beckett is not very bright. Back from Ottawa where he is telling the Japs to trade fair. Kaye is now a protectionist.

2.45 Geoffrey [Sir Geoffrey Howe] saw me - wants to help me with B Leyland.

- I tell him my idea about subsidies to young who earn less than £40 a week.
