   Thanks Tom - yes, I'll come to Romney House for 3.30pm or so.  We can at least catch up
   with where TC and CT have reached and maybe sketch out a couple of ideas for the future.  I
   should be away by 4.30 since I have a 5pm meeting elsewhere.

     I'm pretty tied up on Monday but could do a short hour at 3.30 - could I suggest that
     you come here to Romney House in Marsham St. I'll ask David Vincent to join us.
     Regards

     Tom, I wonder whether Monday 12th Nov. about 3.30pm or 4pm would be
     suitable to meet up?  A courtesy visit really for no more than an hour.  It would be
     useful to explore a little bit more with you the lie of the
     land.  Let me know if this is OK.
     Where about are you - the DEFRA offices in Victoria Street?
     I will send you a copy of our new consolidated research strategy beforehand.
     Regards,
     Mike
