Asked about expectations for the bill, the PMOS said that he would not be drawn into commenting on the vote. The arguments had been set out and the House would make its decision. Asked why MPs had changed their minds, the PMOS said that we had set out the arguments and addressed people’s concerns about selection. People had reached their own conclusions. We had put the case forward clearly and it was for people to explain their decisions.
Asked to confirm that there had been no changes since Ruth Kelly’s letter to Barry Sheerman, the PMOS said that the letter had set out the case and as journalists knew there had been meetings going on between Ruth Kelly and colleagues. In response to the suggestion that some areas might be reopened at committee stage, the PMOS said that he was not aware of the suggestion. The government had set out its position.
