P.M. backs butter sales campaign
NZPA London The British Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher, yesterday pledged her full backing for New Zealand’s campaign to continue- to sell butter in Britain. She promised her support when the High Commissioner, Mr W. L. Young, paid his first official call on her at 10 Downing Street. “She brought it up before I had a chance to mention it,” he said later. “Mrs Thatcher said she realised how important a successful outcome of the
quota negotiations was to us, and gave-us her full support," he said. The 1983 butter quota is due to be discussed again by E.E.C. Ministers in Luxemburg next week after they failed to reach agreement last month. Yesterday was Mrs Thatcher’s ’ fifty-seventh birthday. Among her birthday presents was a big cake iced in blue and white, the Conservative Party colours, and delivered in a gold RollsRoyce.
