Mrs Blair’s Hairdresser

Asked what the arrangements were regarding Mrs Blair’s hairdresser on official business, the PMOS said that he would not be getting into today’s specific story as it was a party matter. All he would point out was that he had addressed and dealt with this issue repeatedly when asked on various trips and the answer had always been the same – Mrs Blair met the costs, full stop. Asked if he was saying that there had been no instances where the taxpayer had paid for the hairdresser’s services, the PMOS said that we had given an answer on each occasion and journalists could go back and check them for themselves. Asked if that was the full fare, the PMOS repeated that we had dealt with this on each appropriate occasion and they could look back in their notes to check. Asked about the recent Australia trip, the PMOS said that he had been asked at the start of the trip and we had indicated that Mrs Blair had met the costs.
