Put that Sir Alistair Graham had written to Sir Gus O’Donnell regarding replacements, the PMOS replied that people should note, as indeed Sir Alistair Graham had done, that it was not custom nor practice to have anybody serve 2 terms in this post. Therefore, there was nothing out of the ordinary in terms of this position. With regarding the timings of replacements, that was a matter for Sir Gus O’Donnell and for the system to get on with.
Put that in the weekend papers, there were stories that we were going to merge lots of "watchdoggery bodies" together, the PMOS said that he was not aware of the collective adjective "watchdoggery", but it was one that we should note, and it could even gain some currency! The PMOS added that people should wait and see what happened, as he was not aware of any immediate plans to do so.
