Asked if there were any plans to evacuate British nationals from the Ivory Coast, the PMOS said that the usual contingency plans had been made in case the situation deteriorated any further.

Asked if the Prime Minister had saved the Black Watch regiment, the Prime Minster's Official Spokesman (PMOS) replied that as we had briefed the previous night, no decision had been taken as yet. This would be based on recommendations from the military. The PMOS said that those who had not rushed into print earlier in the morning had been right to wait as o decisions had been made.

Asked if No10 was involved in the wreath-laying decision by families of soldiers killed in the Iraq War, the PMOS answered that no, they were not. All they did was point out to the families that there was nowhere formally to lay a wreath in Downing Street. If they wished to bring a wreath into Downing Street and hand it at the door, that would be fine, but there is no memorial as such.
