Prime Minister’s Speech

Asked if the Prime Minister would address the issue of Scottish independence in his speech on Saturday, the PMS replied that it would not be a speech on Scotland particularly. Asked if he would discuss his own religious beliefs, the PMS advised people to wait until tomorrow, but when speaking to a Church of Scotland audience, it would be surprising if he did not make some reference to his own upbringing. However, it had not been the Prime Minister’s habit to talk about his own individual religious views.

Asked if people should read anything into the fact that it was almost 20 years to the day that Margaret Thatcher had made her controversial speech to the same audience, the PMS said no.
