Misc

Asked whether the Government was concerned that Iran had taken $75 billion out of foreign banks following the Prime Minister’s comments on sanctions being imposed and was it actually the case that those sanctions had been imposed, the PMS replied that he was not sure that any of the facts being asserted in the question were correct. The last one was definitely not correct as sanctions were agreed by the EU yesterday.

Put that the judgment in the Stuart Wheeler case was due tomorrow and what position would the Government take if the judgment went against it, the PMS said he would not answer hypothetical questions. He advised people to wait for the judgment and then we would give a response.

Asked whether the Chancellor was safe in his job, the PMS said he had answered that question yesterday and he had nothing to add to that.

Asked what was on the agenda with the Sultan of Brunei, the PMS said he was sure discussions would include oil and regional trade matters.

Asked if there was any message from the Prime Minister to Labour MP’s ahead of tomorrow’s planning bill, the PMS replied that our general position on this was that it was an important piece of legislation which was about streamlining the planning process to enable us to take forward, among other things, our renewable energy agenda.
