A section of the text has been checked against the BBC Radio News Report 1300 9 January 1978 (see editorial notes in text). The Scotsman account of the speech includes later remarks by MT on the role of trade unions, perhaps derived from a question and answer session after the speech or from the Press Conference she gave at the end of the day. MT was speaking to an audience of 200 or so Scottish businessmen. Jim Prior and Keith Joseph also spoke.
