(Birdie) Swift. Included in the papers is correspondence with individuals and other support groups, campaign literature, government documents, court transcripts, newspaper cuttings and copies of papers produced by other support groups. Also included is a copy of a detailed report prepared by J. Lloyd-Jones QC on the possibility of a second appeal by the Chamberlains.
