Anthony Minghella

Asked if the Prime Minister had any thoughts about the death of Mr Minghella, the PMS read the following statement from the Prime Minister:

"I was deeply saddened to be told of Anthony’s death. My thoughts are with his wife, Carolyn, his children Max and Hannah, and his other family and friends. He was one of Britain’s greatest creative talents, one of our finest screenwriters and directors, a great champion of the British film industry, and an expert on literature and opera. I counted him as a great friend, as did Sarah and our family. He will be deeply missed, but his contribution to British culture will be remembered for many years to come."
