Troop Withdrawl

Following on from Muqtada al-Sadr’s announcement that his followers should pull out of the Iraq government the PMOS was asked if the British Government were in touch with the Iraqi Prime Minister about the comments and if this changed our timescale for the withdrawal of troops, the PMOS said as it happened and by coincidence the Prime Minister was due to speak to Prime Minister Jawad al-Maliki today. In terms of internal events in Iraq, that was a matter for Iraq, what we would say is that there is a democratically elected government and that government has our full support. Asked if the Prime Minister was calling to talk about troops, the PMOS said that all he would say was that the Prime Minister answered the question in the same way that the PMOS had yesterday, no.
