| Editorial comments: | The attendance list is drawn from a separate document dated 29 March, also on this site from PREM19/1559. Some sort of presentation was given using a projector: MT's engagement diary records William Waldegrave arriving at 0945 with a 'projectionist'. The seminar began at 1130, Scottish Office ministers Younger and Ancram arriving 20 minutes after it started. Read other documents selected from this file.
