Monday 10th May 1982
Brittan agreed with me on Invergordon and instructed the Treasury to get a q.p.q.
Discussed with JV
- Set out an “Agreement” and mentioned this to John Coles - he said PM would not look at it - but she needs to think along these lines.
Goldberger - on interest rates - thinks US + will come down together
Lunch at Argonats - discussed movement of Europe to impose “Industrial Democracy”
Consultation etc. on UK - I made point that it is an infringement of liberty of both employer and employee.
Long agony about how I launch my Falkland solution - John Coles/PM - but also WW
Panorama - dreadful Anti British B.C.
