| To D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} re Miss England II. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}2/E10.11.31 I have noted the information given in your D /DL9.11.31. I presume that the suggestion of our writing to Lord Wakefield or EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Senior doing so regarding the payment of the sum of £18.1.0 to his son has been made with the knowledge and consent of EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Senior? In view of the fact that EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Junior received a bonus of £200 from Lord Wakefield, this suggestion certainly surprises me and if, after reconsideration of the matter, EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} Senior still considers that such a claim should be made either on the Company or on Lord Wakefield, I should be glad if he would speak to me about it personally. Frankly, I am amazed that such a suggestion should be put forward. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
