Sadiq Khan

Asked if the Prime Minister was happy that a Minister of the Crown had close ties, all be it professional, with people connected to the 9/11 attacks and organisations that some believed should be banned, the PMS replied that Mr Khan was a Whip, and therefore part of the Government. In this case he was acting as a constituency MP in relation to, as we understood it, somebody he had known since childhood.

Asked about Jack Straw’s private office knowing that there were questions about an MP being bugged, and did the Prime Minister think there had been any failure on the part of the private office not informing the Minister, or was it a failure on the part of the Minister, the PMS replied that we would not be getting into that. Jack Straw made a statement to the House yesterday around 22:30, and the position was set out there.
