Sheffield sinking clamour in papers
Cecil P [Cecil Parkinson] said he had been nobbled by George Younger to support Invergordon. PM wanted to do it.
Emergency Cabinet on Falklands - Cecil P said there would be an attempt at a peaceful solution.
Christopher Dunn (Broker) at Reform - he was still v. bullish for UK. I asked him to buy £8,000 of World Bank £ Bonds at 14% or so.
MS [Michael Scholar] said it was no use proposing a bribe-out solution to the Falklands.
Personal Note to Leon Brittan on Invergordon
