Asked what was the point of having the Prime Minister’s committee on intelligence services if he had rejected one of the main proposals which was to have separate heads of the SIC and JIC, the PMOS said that in terms of the committee, it was not the Prime Minister’s committee.
The journalist said that it was the Prime Minister’s committee. The PMOS replied that it was an independent committee which reported independently. Therefore, like all committees, it was perfectly entitled to make an argument. Equally, Government was perfectly entitled to consider an argument and set out why it agreed or disagreed.
