UK Rebate

Asked if the UK Budget rebate had been discussed during the Prime Minister's meeting with Mr. Barosso this morning, the Prime Minister's Spokesman (PMS) said they had looked ahead to issues on the current EU agenda, especially the council meeting in June and our Presidency which starts in July. With regards to future financing, the PMS said there would be a Foreign Ministers meeting on Sunday which would look at the issue.

Electoral Commission

Asked if we were going to accept the Electoral Commission's recommendations, the PMS said we were going to consider them. The Electoral Administration Bill would shortly be introduced. This would put forward a number of changes to the present system, as we wanted to ensure that elections were continued to be run in a safe and secure manner.
