Home Office

Asked if the line had changed about the reforms to the Home Office and that there was more consultation now taking place than had first been thought, the PMOS repeated what he had said this morning that there is a balance to be struck between tackling terrorism and addressing the issues connected with that whilst at the same time getting a consensus within Government as a whole about the best way to proceed. The PMOS went on to say that a serious report had been presented by John Reid that is now being seriously looked at with other colleagues in Government. That does not say anything about the speed with which these matters will be resolved. The Prime Minister is seriously engaged in this issue and given that we are talking about tackling terrorism there is an urgency about these discussions. What that means in terms of timetables and so on is purely hypothetical.
