G8
« President Chirac | Back to most recent briefing | Haggis »
Asked why the Prime Minister had not mentioned the G8 today, considering Live 8 had just occurred, and was this a "slap in the face" the PMS said the Prime Minister had spent a lot of time over the past weeks and months talking about the G8 and the important issues that were coming up. The Prime Minister was in Singapore today promoting the Olympic bid for London, and that seemed entirely appropriate. The Prime Minister was entirely focused on what was to happen later in the week. It was not a question of ignoring it, or giving it "a slap in the face", as the Prime Minister was completely focused on both events, but today he was concentrating on the events of the IOC.
