Dr Clarke has asked us for any briefing or background notes on UFOs prepared for reference by Lord Strabolgi in his
closing address during the House of Lords debate on UFOs, on 18 January 1979. We had two files on this, but these
were destroyed in 1990. He has now stated that he believes 0155 and RAF Ops(GE)2 contributed briefings to assist
Lord Strabolgi's response and has ask us to confirm whether either of these retained copies of their own contributions
within their own files.
I have asked 0155 to check their filing systems and I would be grateful if you could confirm whether DAO have
retained any files (parliamentary correspondence) that may contain relevant information. If you would prefer me to
speak to your registry about these sort of enquiries please let me know.
