President Bush
Asked if President Bush was likely to visit the UK in the New Year during his European trip, the PMOS said if people had remembered his lobby briefing on the return from Washington recently, he said at that stage, he thought it most unlikely the President would visit as he was focussing on EU and NATO issues.

Media Coverage/Black Watch
Asked if the Prime Minister agreed with General Sir Michael Walker's recent comments that media coverage to the Black Watch deployment might have put them at risk, the Prime Minister's Spokesman (PMS) said that General Walker was making the point that for reasons of operational security, people should be careful about what we said about military deployments. Any speculation about timings and movements could put troops in danger.

Postal Ballots
Asked if the Government was going to go ahead with postal ballots for local elections next year, the PMS replied that it was up to the local authorities to decide if they would use postal ballots in their areas. Our view was that the postal ballots that had been used this year in the regional referendum and the European Elections showed that people were very interested in this, and that the turn out had increased. We were very keen that people took part in the democratic process, and postal balloting which had taken place this year showed it was popular.

Northern Ireland
Asked if the Prime Minister had held any further conversations with any of the parties involved in the Northern Ireland talks earlier this week, the PMS said she was not aware of any recent discussions. As her colleague had said yesterday, discussions were continuing, and we were at the stage where it would be better for those discussions to continue in private.
