Falklands: Gillmore minute for Pym PS (morning) ("Falkland Islands: Prime Minister's Meeting at 1430 on 11 April") [MEZ - "in the circumstances it is unthinkable that we should go ahead and sink Argentine vessels as from 0400 GMT tomorrow"] [declassified 2012]

Editorial comments:

The extensive handwriting on p1 is Pym's, perhaps jottings during the meeting itself. MT's engagement diary suggests it was held at the House of Commons at 1530 (1430Z). No official record seems to exist.
