Thank you for your _·minutes DIS4(Air) 18/3 of 15th and 16th
January fonvarding a revised draft of the speech for
Lord Strabolgi and Fidditional background information
respectively.
2. I have discussed the revised speech vJitl-:. Lord Strabolgi
and have made further ·- largely editorial - amendments.
I attach a copy of a letter \vhich I handed to Lord Strabolgi
last night together \'lith a fresh copy of the speech itself.
Lord Strabolgi 1.Jill be reading the speech again today and
will let me know as soon as possible whether he \vishes to have
the briefing meeting which you and Mr have pencilled
in for 1130 tomorrow.
3. You might like to know that the debate is causing a fair
/
amount of interest in the House of Lords. In addition to the /
Earl of Clancarty others taking part 1vill include (in the
following order) Lord Trefgarne, the Earl of Kimberley,·
Viscount St Davids, Lords Rankeillour, Kings-Norton, Glad~7n
and Hewlett, the Bishop of Norwich, Earl Halsbury and
Viscount Ox[uird (who will be making his maiden speech).
4. ltJe will not know for certain 'tvhen the UFO debate 1vill
sta~t. It depends, of course, on how long the earlier
business tak~s, but it is unlikely to start before 1800. We
will keep in touch with the House of Lords throughout the
course of tomorrow afternoon and early evening and 1ve will
let you k~ow as soon as we are needed. The d'ebate is likely
to last for between t1.vo and three hours.
