Your telegram No. 163 of the 27th July [1]-you can rely on me to
press on Attlee and Bevin Australian right to be consulted and
have our views considered before major decisions reached.

I have considerable hopes that many of the difficulties we have
experienced in the past will disappear under the new Government
which will conduct public affairs more in accordance with the
accepted principles of individual ministerial responsibility than
was the case under the late regime.
