Press briefing from the Prime Minister’s Spokesman on: Football Reception, Mrs Blair and Chevening
Football Reception
Asked what the reception was about, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said that it was for UNICEF/Socceraid and guests would be the Socceraid players and UNICEF representatives.
Mrs Blair
Asked by ITN whether Mrs Blair was going to apologise for signing a copy of the Hutton report, the PMOS said that it had been at a Labour Party related event so it would be wrong for him to comment.
Chevening
Asked why Jack Straw was keeping Chevening, the PMOS said that he was not. Even the Independent’s political editor said their diary had been wrong. For the record it had been agreed on the day of the reshuffle that Jack Straw would leave and Margaret Beckett would take over given Chevening’s traditional relationship with the Foreign Office. Asked if Jack Straw would now share Dorneywood, the PMOS said there were no plans for him to do so.
