Prime Minister

Put by a BBC journalist recently back in the UK, that as he had been out of the loop for a while, when did the Prime Minister intend to stand down, and who would replace him when he did, the PMOS said that the journalist got ten out of ten for aspiration, but zero out of ten for reality! Nothing had changed - welcome back to lobby!

Hungarian Prime Minister

Asked if it was true that the Hungarian Prime Minister had come to say goodbye, the PMOS said that he was not aware of that. There were real issues such as the EU Constitution to talk about, and if people remembered what the Prime Minister had said in his press conference this week about wanting to work towards an amending treaty, and not a constitutional treaty, then that was part of that context. This was a debate which was picking up right across Europe as we approached the June Council, and as we approached the point where there would a new President in France. Therefore, there was a renewed emphasis on this debate, and the Prime Minister and Prime Minister Balkenende tried to shape that debate during their press conference.
