Media: Colette Bowe minute to Norman Tebbit’s Private Secretary (“Economic & Social Policy Campaign”) [wants immediate discussion of Ingham invitation to participate] [released 2014]

Document type: Declassified documents
Source: Thatcher MSS (Churchill Archive Centre): THCR2/6/3/126 Part1 f3
Editorial comments: The likely implication of Bowe’s request is that she questioned whether the initiative was consistent with limitations on the political role of officials, or sought express approval before participating. John Whittingdale was then special adviser at the DTI. Ingham’s letter follows the request.
