I met Lady Valerie Goulding on several occasions and remember being very impressed by her common sense approach. She had a very fine way of speaking, which could sometimes put one off, but when one spoke to her about the causes she espoused, one saw how her drive and determination would put to one side all the bureaucratic delays put in front of her. I have no doubt that her fine manner and the way she expressed herself brushed aside many a civil servant who in his or her day tried to put obstacles in the way of her very fine work. I can imagine her saying: "That is just nonsense, we are going to go ahead with A, B, C, D"– and she did so. Her fine way was truly remarkable.
