Friday 12th March 1982
PM in Sunderland
Robin Ibbs etc. about employment study - the only way is to split it off from Rickard. He is a structuralist and is anxious not to talk about benefits effect etc.
[The ending of a very good week]
Fixed up for Adrian Smith to work on Minford’s model applied to Europe.
Ibbs pleased - but JV [John Vereker] worried that there will be no meeting of CPRS + No. 10
- but my main concern is to get the work done - seems as though we shall fight.
Public Expenditure Exercise for Cabinet - usual stuff
Talked to Robert Armstrong about my involvement in the Summit at June
