The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said at this morning’s Cabinet Peter Hain updated colleagues on Northern Ireland, primarily because he had not been able to do so last week, not because there was anything new. Tessa Jowell gave an overview of where we were on the Olympics. Professor Nick Stern gave a preview of his report on climate change, which comes out next week. Asked whether there was any discussion of the Queen’s Speech, the PMOS said no. Asked was there any thing significant discussed about the Olympics, the PMOS said Tessa Jowell was setting out primarily the legacy not just for London or that particular part of London where there would be substantial investment, but also for the country as a whole. The IOC believed that we were substantially ahead of any other city at this stage for the preparation of the games. The figure Tessa Jowell used was that we were two years ahead of where Sydney had been at this comparative stage in preparation for the games. Obviously we needed to maintain that, but that was an indication of what was going on at the moment.
