Hungary: FCO Steering Brief (MT visit to Hungary) [draft, including points for private talk with Kádár] [declassified 2014]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: PREM19/1271 f34
Editorial comments:

Undated. Probably submitted in preparation for the oral briefing MT received on 31 January (1630-1800) and therefore listed by that date. A note by Caroline Stephens, MT’s diary secretary follows the main document. Acland, Bullard, Cartledge and Howe attended, presumably with Coles. Also on this site is MT’s annotated copy of Annex A, notes for her conversation with Kadar. The full file from which this document derived can be read here.
