Cabinet
« Party Funding | Back to most recent briefing | Nimrod Report »
The Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) began by telling the assembled press about that morning’s Cabinet meeting. The main item on the agenda was a discussion of the Children’s Plan, based on a presentation by Ed Balls, ahead of publication next week. There was an update by Des Browne on the Nimrod report, published this afternoon. There were also updates by Jack Straw on prisons and party funding and updates from David Miliband on Kosovo and Iran.
Asked what Jack Straw had said on prisons, the PMS said it had been a general update. The Government had a prison building programme in place that it was determined to implement and take through. Asked why there was a need for an update if nothing had changed, the PMS said it was not uncommon for the Cabinet to be updated and have discussions around issues that were live policy agendas.
