Margaret Thatcher Engagement Diary - Thu 9 June 1983

Document type:	Declassified documents
Source:	Thatcher MSS (Churchill Archive Centre): THCR6/1/2/5
Editorial comments:	Taken from a typed version of the appointment diary prepared in the Garden Room following MT's resignation but before 1992. The handwritten original has also been studied and material from that source has sometimes been added in, with explicit notes to that effect. The handwritten volumes are now being deposited at TNA in the series PREM32; PREM32/17 is the manuscript version of the diary, PREM32/5 the typed one.
