Memorial

Asked if the Prime Minister believed that there should be a permanent war memorial to all those have died and served their country since World War II, the PMOS replied that for once we agreed with the Daily Mail. We have been working for a long time to support those who have been trying to get the permanent memorial in Staffordshire. The MoD have been involved in helping to guarantee funding for the memorial but the PMOS asked journalists to seek further advice from the MoD. The overall position is that we were supportive of the idea of a permanent memorial and believed that there was a good case for one. Asked who would provide the funding, would it be the National Lottery, the PMOS replied that it would be a matter for the National Lottery and he would not be able to second-guess their decisions.
