Briefing from the Prime Minister’s Spokesman on: Ulster Defence Association, Pro Hunt Supporters and Smoking.
Ulster Defence Association
Asked if the Northern Ireland Office was going to recognise the UDA ceasefire today, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said later that she couldn’t comment on speculation at this stage.
Pro Hunt Supporters
Asked what the Prime Minister’s message would be to the pro hunt supporters protesting outside Parliament next week, the PMS said that the Hunt Bill was still being debated in the Lords, and we would not comment on the bill until the process was completed.
Asked if the Prime minister hoped the protest would be peaceful, the PMS replied that we always hoped that protests were peaceful.
Smoking
Asked what the Government’s views on a smoking survey which showed that poorer people were more likely to smoke, the PMS said that people should wait until the Public Health White paper, which would be published next week.
