...Commonwealth officials and avert a flatly hostile final communiqué. Recruiting Commonwealth Relations Minister Duncan Sandys and Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath to help with the lobbying, Macmillan exerted all his considerable charm at small meetings, between sessions, at the evening receptions, even at Queen Elizabeth's banquet for the Commonwealth leaders in Buckingham Palace...
