Papal Visit
« Education Bill | Back to most recent briefing | Peerages »
Asked for information about a possible papal visit, the PMOS said that it was a matter for the Catholic Church, and he was not going to give people any headline at all.
Put that as the Pope was a Head of State, should it not therefore go through the Palace, and therefore ultimately via the Prime Minister, the PMOS said that as people knew, these things were dealt with through the usual channels. The Pope was always welcome, but the PMOS had no knowledge of any particular plans that he should enlighten people with.
Asked if the Prime Minister had paid tribute to the Pope, the PMOS said that he was waiting for the next obvious question…in lobby terms! Asked if the Prime Minister had full confidence in the Pope…the PMOS laughed!
