Department of Trade and Industry

Tuesday, 14 June

It has to lie on the table for a month, and then a brief debate in the House, after ten, and if necessary a perfunctory whipped vote on a two-liner. I have devoted enormous energy and time to this measure, and it is a purely personal triumph – over lawyers, Ambassadors, senior civil servants in several Departments including my own; eskimos, furriers, ‘small shopkeepers’ – they have all been in and alternately (sometime simultaneously) threatened and cajoled.

H’m. Could be bad.
