MT: Menu card from the Fourth Ross McWhirter Memorial Dinner (MT notes for speech) [released 2012]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: Thatcher MSS (Churchill Archive Centre): THCR1/7/5 f182
Editorial comments: Paul Johnson gave the address (“Freedom - the moral foundation”) and MT”s notes on the programme/menu plainly derive from it. The two pages of notes on 10 Downing Street paper, at the end of this item, would appear to be jottings for a reply. It is likely therefore that she spoke briefly. See THCR 2/2/3/74, also - for text of the Johnson speech, The Free Nation , Jun 1981, pp5-6.
