It was featured in Lobster#3, which stated that the group worked closely with the Institute for the Study of Conflict, the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Centre for Policy Studies.[2]

Purposes

The group was set up to try to oppose CND. It was endorsed by UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher] and rented its Whitehall offices from Jeffrey Archer.[2]
