( V 1O DOWNING STREET From the Private Secretary CABINET OFFfCE s 28 February 1979 Uganda Airlines and Stanstead Airport The Prime Minister has seen the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary's minute (PM/79/24) of 27 February about the suspension of Uganda Airlines' flights to Stanstead Airport. Subject to the views of his colleagues in DOP, and to those of the Attorney General, to whom you are sending a copy of Dr. Owen's minute, the Prime Minister is content that the Secretary of State for Trade - who, the Prime Minister understands, does not dissent from Dr. Owen's recommendation - should now act under the Air Navigation Order of 1976 to suspend the Ugandan flights. So far as a public announcement of this action is concerned, the Prime Minister is content that the form and timing of such an announcement should be agreed between Dr. Owen and Mr. Smith. I am sending copies of this letter to the Private Secretaries to other members of DOP, to Bill Beckett (Law Officers' Department) and to Martin Vile (Cabinet Office). fou/} J. S. Wall, Esq., Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
