Editorial comments:

1130. This was the one of only two meetings of E(LF) during 1986 chaired by MT in person, Whitelaw doing the honours during the previous four meetings. Minutes and papers of this committee would have been copied to PREM19/1837, but were likely destroyed during weeding. All documents from CAB134/4965 have been selected and can be read here.
