Control Orders

Asked whether the subject of control orders was discussed at Cabinet, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) told the assembled press that it had. The Home Secretary had set out the position as it stood, there was broad agreement on the policy and there would be an announcement soon.

On whether the Cabinet endorsed the policy, the PMS said that he had set out what happened at Cabinet. Asked if there was any dissent on the policy, the PMS replied that there was a broad agreement on the policy. There would be a few more processes that we needed to go through followed by an announcement.

On whether the Home Secretary would need to talk to external agencies, the PMS replied that there were lots of bits of Government involved in this policy.

Asked to explain what Lord MacDonald’s role would be from now until the announcement, the PMS said that he had been asked to undertake some work and advised people to speak to the Home Office about the nature of that work.

When asked if it would take a further Cabinet meeting to fully form the policy, the PMS replied that he was not anticipating a further Cabinet discussion on the issue.
