European Commissioner

Asked when the appointment of the UK’s new European Commissioner would be announced, the PMOS said he thought that we were some months away from an announcement. Asked if it was the Prime Minister’s responsibility to decide whom to appoint, the PMOS said yes, in consultation with colleagues. Asked if the Prime Minister would dare to choose someone who was not popular with his colleagues, the PMOS said that it was clearly a slow afternoon for the Lobby. He had no intention of feeding any speculation that might itself have been feeding off other speculation.
