Cabinet

The PMS said that the Prime Minister spoke at Cabinet about Northern Ireland and acknowledged the decommissioning of weapons by the INLA and other groups, which was a significant step forward. The Prime Minister congratulated the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on his efforts.

There was then a discussion on Afghanistan led by the Prime Minister, including contributions from the Foreign Secretary, Defence Secretary and Secretary of State for International Development. Operation Moshtarak was about to begin, which was being led by Afghan forces. The Prime Minister emphasised the fact that this was the first time the Afghanistan army had been at the centre of operations.

This was followed by a discussion on migration led by the Home Secretary, who would be making a major speech tomorrow.

The Chancellor then gave a debrief on his visit to the G7 over the weekend in Canada. He spoke about the domestic economic situation and said that other surveys were consistent with the economy coming out of recession, and pointed in particular to investment figures and growing of businesses.

Jim Murphy gave an update on the planned visit of the Pope to the UK this year. This was a historic visit and had the status of a State visit.
