Iraq

Asked what contacts the Prime Minister was having ahead of his statement to the House on Iraq, and asked about the overwatch process, the PMS replied that we stayed in close contact, as you would expect, with all of our key allies on a ongoing basis. The detailed operational basis on which overwatch would operate would be something that was very much for military commanders.

Asked if the Prime Minister had had any progress reports on how the movement of troops from Basra Palace was going, the PMS replied that obviously the Prime Minister was being kept up to date and kept informed on a regular basis. But it was best to leave the public discussion of exactly how the operation was going to the Ministry of Defence and the military commanders on the ground.

Asked if the Prime Minister had spoken to President Bush recently, the PMS replied that Mr Brown speaks to all of his key allies on a regular basis and we kept in very close contact with the United States.

This is not a way of contacting the Prime Minister. If you would like to contact the Prime Minister, go to the 10 Downing Street official site.
