Asked if the Prime Minister had had any discussions with the Swedish authorities, the PMS said that there had been discussions over the weekend. The Prime Minister had been briefed and brought up to speed by the Home Secretary and others. Asked if the discussions had been between the Prime Minister and his Swedish counterpart, the PMS said that they had been. On what the need was for that conversation, the PMS said that people would have seen the speculation surrounding the case. There was police involvement in the UK and that was why the UK authorities had been in touch with the Swedish authorities. Asked if the Prime Minister had apologised to the Swedish Prime Minister as the UK had yet again been the incubator of terrorism’, the PMS said that this had been a discussion to update one another on the latest information. Put that both Prime Ministers were working on the assumption that this attack was carried out by a recent British citizen’, the PMS replied that there was an investigation ongoing and there was not a great deal more he could say at the present time. On whether the UK had offered to assist the Swedish authorities, the PMS said that if there was any way we could support them, then we would do.
