Asked what the Government was proposing to do about the compromise over the Hunting Bill that was discussed at the Leeds Castle conference, the PMOS answered that not only was it was a free vote in the House, but also that the Prime Minister still believed in the compromise set out by Alun Michael, and that it was the best way forward. He said it was better to wait and see what the House of Lords did. Asked if the Prime Minister was still personally involved in the hunting compromise, the PMOS said the Prime Minister was still firmly committed to trying to seek a compromise. He added again that it was a matter for the Houses to decide. Asked if the Prime Minister was going to vote on the Hunting Bill, the PMOS said it would be better to take things one day at a time.
