World Cup

Asked whether the Prime Minister would congratulate the Russians over their successful World Cup bid, the PMS said the Prime Minister would write to Prime Minister Putin and to the Emir of Qatar to congratulate both countries

Asked why the Prime Minister thought England had lost the World Cup bid, the PMS said the Prime Minister had made it clear that the team was bitterly disappointed, that he felt England had the best technical and commercial bid as well as the passion, but that it clearly had not been enough.

Asked whether the Prime Minister was concerned the competition would be held in Russia and Qatar, the PMS said that the Prime Minister had not expressed a view and would congratulate those countries.

Asked whether the Prime Minister thought Qatar now ought to recognise the state of Israel, the PMS said that 2022 was some way off, that this Government’s views on Israel were well known and that the Prime Minister would be congratulating Qatar on their successful bid.
