Press briefing from the Prime Minister’s Spokesman on: Peter Hain, Foreign Prisoners and Reshuffle
Peter Hain
Asked whether the Prime Minister had asked Peter Hain to offer Peter Law a peerage, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said that he was somewhat surprised to have to comment on this on Election Day, especially as Peter Hain had already categorically denied it. We associated ourselves with Peter Hain’s remarks and fully supported what he had said. Asked whether the Prime Minister thought Peter Hain’s denial was enough, the PMOS reiterated that Peter Hain’s denial left no room for any doubt.
Foreign Prisoners
Asked what specific human rights challenges the government had won, the PMOS said that he had given an answer yesterday and journalists could look up the briefing note to see it.
Reshuffle
Asked if there was a big enough envelope to plan a reshuffle, the PMOS said that he had absolutely nothing to say about what happened in the FA. That was entirely a matter for them.
