The Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) began by clearing up some questions from that morning’s lobby briefing. Asked what the format would be for the Prime Minister’s meeting with the Dalai Lama at Lambeth Palace on Friday, the PMS said that the Archbishop of Canterbury had invited them both to Lambeth Palace for an inter-faith meeting, which they would both attend. This would be followed by a private meeting between the Prime Minister and the Dalai Lama.

In response to the statement on Burma by the ASEAN Foreign Minister’s this morning, the Prime Minister welcomed the outcome of the ASEAN Foreign Minister’s meeting today, in particular their decision to set up an ASEAN-led taskforce to help deliver aid to Burma, using close contact with the leaders of the ASEAN countries as well as the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.

Asked which Government Minister’s would attend the Champions League Final in Moscow on Wednesday, the PMS said that Andy Burnham and Gerry Sutcliffe would attend.

Asked what the Prime Minister spoke about in his speech earlier that day, the PMS said that the Prime Minister talked about what was happening in global oil markets and global food prices among other things.

Asked whether the Prime Minister was planning to vote on the Embryology Bill, the PMS said that he was planning to vote, both today and tomorrow.
