She and Francis approached the negotiations from opposite directions, and there was a frequent clash of wills.

Falklands handover 'was set for 1997' But as Gen Haig was communicating directly with Downing Street, it is possible that Francis Pym, never a confidant of Mrs Thatcher, was not "in the loop".

Mr Pym had previously advised the US government that Mrs Thatcher would not accept an earlier American draft calling for a negotiated transfer of sovereignty at an undisclosed date in the future. www.portal.telegraph.co.uk /htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/1997/06/29/wfalk29.html

House of Commons - Public Administration - Minutes of Evidence What was happening here was that Francis Pym had made an extremely gloomy speech in the same week that the Chancellor had said we were coming out of a deep recession.

I think Francis would admit that he was. www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk /pa/cm199798/cmselect/cmpubadm/770/8060202.htm

Bob Cryer's Last Speech to the House of Commons That is a curious change because in 1981 the former Secretary of State for Defence, Francis Pym, gave me permission to visit the base. Francis Raven, who was the chief of G group of United States army intelligence until 1975, claimed that the takeover occurred because the army resisted eavesdropping on diplomatic and economic targets. The only qualification to that permission was a refusal to allow Duncan Campbell to accompany me because he knew something about the spying and procedures going on inside the base. cndyorks.gn.apc.org /mhs/bobcryer.htm
