1966 World Cup Event

In answer to questions about the 1966 World Cup event at Downing Street, the PMS said that this followed a recent FIFA decision that members of the squad should also receive medals, and this was an event to mark that.

Asked which team the Prime Minister had supported in 1966, the PMS replied that the PM had made clear that he would always support a British team, except when they were playing against Scotland.
