Euro 2012

Asked whether any Ministers would be attending the later stages of Euro 2012, the PMS said there were no plans for any Ministers to go to the group stages.

Asked if the PM would be watching the England match or listening to the Home Secretary this afternoon, she said he would be kept abreast of the score. Asked if he has ruled out going to the Ukraine, she said the PM has a very busy agenda: looking ahead he was going to the G20 and European Council meetings and one could not guess where England might get to in the competition.

Asked why the group games were specified, she said she did not suppose the FCO wanted to speculate how far we would get in the competition but she could confirm that there were no plans for a Minister to go to group games.

Asked whether that was a deliberate diplomatic decision to send a signal to Ukraine, she said the FCO has separately commented on Ukraine’s record.

Asked whether the PM sent any message of support, she confirmed this was the case – he had sent a letter last week to the England manager expressing his best wishes.

Asked whether, if at a later stage England were to play in Poland, ministers would go, she would not speculate but advised journalists to speak to the FCO.
