EU Summit

Asked whether the Prime Minister would be attending the EU Summit in Lisbon, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) told the assembled press that there had been no update since Friday, which in turn hadn’t been much of an update from Thursday. The difficulties surrounding the timing of the event had already been set out and a definitive answer had not yet been reached. Asked if the Prime Minister was unlikely to go, the PMS replied that there were certain difficulties in trying to go to both the summit and the Liaison Committee but that people should not read anything into the possibility of the Prime Minister not attending the EU Summit. The Prime Minister as Head of Government negotiated the treaty and would want to sign up to it.

Asked how long the Prime Minister would be before the Liaison Committee, the PMS said it was a matter for the Liaison Committee but from recollection, it would be for a minimum of two hours. Put that the Liaison Committee were being inflexible, the PMS replied that she wouldn’t agree with that characterisation of the Liaison Committee.

  1. Under no circumstances should Gordon Brown, or anyone else from this Govt. sign this Contitution/Treaty. The vast majority of British people do not want it. More and more is given away to Bruss4ells. Don’t sign, Gordon. Stay home and sort the hospital and schools out instead.
