» Thursday, January 20, 2005David Blunkett’s House
Asked if David Blunkett would be staying in his house indefinitely, due to security reasons, the PMOS said "indefinitely" was a very big word. It was no unusual in the past for a transition period to occur in similar cases. The situation had not changed since the last time he was asked the same question last week. As for timescales, given there were security issues, the PMOS said he would not go into any further details. Put to him the Leader of the House seemed to think the situation regarding Mr. Blunkett’s house was a permanent one, the PMOS repeated not only was he not going to talk about security matters, but also that transition periods in the past had not been instant either. Asked if this therefore meant there would be different security considerations for the new Home Secretary, the PMOS said different Home Secretary’s had different security arrangements.

Silly me - I thought that security could be provided at almost any location.
What is it about the present house that is ’special’?
