I. Micahel Joplinr and I had a word about this

on Monday evenin7.

You will remember that, in the past, and a

irrecrular interval , you have had meetin-s

at which you and Geoffrey have riven a -per

talk" to Ministersnot in the Cabinet. In

fact, we have had to have the- in two sessions.

Michael Jonlinr sur:rested that it nirht be

timely, with the start of the new ses _on,

to have two such neetinrs in Nov.ember.

I do know that MinistPrsnot in the Cabinet have

welcomed these occasions and I endorse

Michael's recommendation.

You may like ,just to consider whether it would

be better to have th_se meetinrs in November or

in January (after any chanres which you may

wish to make in the Government have beer

implemented).
