Party Funding

Asked if the Prime Minister had been contacted by the police on party funding, the PMS replied that as he had said before, the question we would answer on this, to be consistent, was "Has the Prime Minister been interviewed by the police?" And the answer to that question was no. Asked if journalists would be told when he was interviewed, the PMS replied that we would tell Lobby if the Prime Minister had been interviewed by the police.

Put that there was an assumption that we expected the Prime Minister to be interviewed, the PMS replied that he had no information on the police investigation, but if it were the case that the Prime Minister were interviewed then we would let Lobby know. Asked if we would let them know on the same day, the PMS replied that we would let Lobby know as soon as practicable afterwards.

Asked if the Prime Minister was happy to cooperate with the investigation, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister had made that absolutely clear in the letter that he sent to Commander Mawer in November.

This is not a way of contacting the Prime Minister. If you would like to contact the Prime Minister, go to the 10 Downing Street official site.
