Editorial comments: Available on CD-ROM only. Press release (613/76) embargoed until 1200. The speaking text has been preferred to the press release which excludes material on Wales and devolution. As she commonly did at this period, MT made stylistic changes to the speaking text after the issue of the press release. A section of the text has been checked against BBC Radio News Report 1300 12 June 1976. Reports from the Guardian and The Times suggest changes on delivery to the section on devolution.
