MB R W SMITH COBR I expect you know the COBR has been manned since 9.30 an 7 June and the Metropolitan Police aaterers provided lunoh and tea for about % and supper for 10. I hair* spoken to their Finance Officer who expects to get authority to sake this an operational charge on the Polio® Vote and will not be seeking recovery froa D©part»ents concerned which, in any event, would bs a lengthy olarical process* He will l e t you know. You won't b» surprised to hear a quantity of the COBR tosr stock vat oonsused and I shall have to replace this a s soon as possible. Customers included the Hose Secretary, Metropolitan Folios Officers and other non*oivll servants and I would prefer not to have to raise individual b i l l s f o r "one beer", "on© gin and tonic" etc. May I therefore use the £10 float which you authorised after BINT EX to buy in stock and have the 610 cash replaced? 3 R BISHOP 8 June 1977
