Mr Edward Heath (died July 2005) Rebuffed And Rejected In The Most Desperately Close Run General Election Of This Century Last Night Told The Queen That He Is Not Resigning Is He Can Help It. Instead The Prime Minister Has Given In To A Unanimous Decision Of His Cabinet. This Is That He Should Take The Airing And Hotly Controversial Course Of Trying To Keep A Minority Tory Government In Office And Defying Its Opponents To Bring It Down In The Commons. The Decision Which Will Bring Fury From The Labour Party Was One Which Mr Edward Heath (died July 2005) At First Refused. It Is Fraught And Political And Constitutional Hazards And Is Personally Distasteful To The Prime Minister Whose Original View Was That The Country's Verdict Meant That He Should Go. **original Print Held In Kensington** Pkt3838-291222.
