Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher offered to meet a distressed child whose parents were breaking up, newly released files show.
The girl wrote to Mrs Thatcher, who received between 2,000 and 3,000 letters a week, in June 1981 asking for help to stop her parents divorcing.
Thatcher wrote a "long personal reply", offered to arrange a tour of the Commons and meet the girl, records show.
The outcome of the correspondence is not recorded.
