Paedophile Laws

Asked what exactly the proposed paedophile laws were, the Prime Minister's Spokesman (PMS) said that we were committed to publishing a child sex offender review but at the moment we were not in a position to comment further as it would be right for Parliament to hear from the Home Office first. Full details would be published in due course.

Naval Personnel

Asked when the Prime Minister became aware of the stories being sold to the press by naval personnel and if he gave permission to naval personnel, the PMS said that Rear Admiral Johns had answered the questions raised yesterday, but that it was important that people do not focus too heavily on the process. What we have here are undoubtedly difficult decisions that had to be taken in unprecedented circumstances and it is important that nobody pretends that there are any easy answers. There are strong views on both sides of the argument but what was important now was that the Defence Secretary looks into these issues in the round, and that is exactly what the review he has commissioned will do.
