Briefing from the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman on: PM’s Day, Reshuffle and Firefighter Deaths.
PM’s Day
Asked why the Prime Minister had changed his diary arrangements for this morning, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said he wasn’t aware that he had. He pointed out that this afternoon’s debate on Iraq in the House of Commons had been a late addition to his diary, so any changes that might have been made to his schedule were likely to relate to the need to prepare for that.
Reshuffle
Asked if a reshuffle was going to take place today, the PMOS said he had nothing to add to what he hadn’t said yesterday about this issue. He pointed out that the Prime Minister would be having a busy afternoon with the debate on Iraq in the House. Asked about the Prime Minister’s engagements for tomorrow apart from PMQs, the PMOS said that tomorrow was another day. Asked if the Prime Minister would be on the frontbench for the Defence Secretary’s Statement, the PMOS said he was not aware of any plans for him to be present at this stage.
Firefighter Deaths
Asked the Prime Minister’s reaction to the deaths this morning of two firefighters in London, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister sent his sympathies to the families of the victims. He recognised the debt that we all owed to firefighters and the real risks they ran to protect people at home and at work.
