Asked for a reaction to the Dutch Foreign Minister’s reported comments today suggesting that it was inevitable that Britain would have to give up some of its red lines, the PMOS said that he wasn’t aware of the detail of the comments and it would therefore not be helpful to comment directly on them until he was, other than to say that our red lines remained. In answer to further questions, the PMOS said he had also learned from experience that it wasn’t helpful to give a running commentary on ongoing discussions. As he had said last week, these were real negotiations. Equally, it was important for people to recognise that we had real bottom lines.
