Gus O’Donnell’s report
« Hillsborough | Back to most recent briefing | Morning press briefing for 17 October 2011 »
Asked a number of questions about the content of Sir Gus O’Donnell’s report into Defence Secretary Liam Fox’s meetings with Adam Werrity, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said that the report was expected to be delivered to the Prime Minister tomorrow and details would be released afterwards. He said the purpose of the report was to establish the facts. Asked several times if a list of meetings between other Ministers and Adam Werrity would be published, the PMS said Sir Gus was looking to establish the facts and his findings would be published. Asked if the police had made contact regarding Adam Werrity, the PMS said they had not and that if they had an interest in the matter, that would be for them to pursue. Asked if the report would be accompanied by a list of lobbyists, the PMS said that that was a separate issue and that the Coalition agreement set out the Government’s intention to set up a statutory list of lobbyists and that there would be a consultation on that issue soon.
