Peter Mandelson

Asked whether the Prime Minister and Mr Mandelson had had any discussions while the Prime Minister was in Brussels, the PMS replied that they did not have an opportunity to meet. They had a long and constructive meeting in Brussels just a couple of weeks ago and they talked regularly. Asked whether it was normal for the Prime Minister to visit a European Summit without speaking to the European Commissioner, the PMS explained that the meeting had been with Heads of Government. Individual Commissioners were not always necessarily in the room or even at the meeting. It depended entirely on what was on the agenda and what was being discussed.

Put that the Prime Minister had not confirmed whether he would welcome Mr Mandelson to stay on for a second term, the PMS said that we had gone round that course several times last week. The Prime Minister had spoken on the subject and he had nothing further to add.
