Prime Minister’s visit to North West England
The Prime Minister's Spokesman (PMS) told journalists that the Prime Minister would be visiting the North West this afternoon. He would visit the Kirkby campus of Knowsley College, where he would be taken on a tour and officially open the new Management Innovation Centre. The Prime Minister would then go onto a second location, which was the Yew Tree Community Health and Children's Centre in Dovecot, which he would officially open.

EU Court of Justice ruling re health and safety
Asked for a reaction to the EU Court of Justice's ruling regarding Health and Safety, the PMS said that although we needed time to study the Court's ruling in detail and absorb its full implications, we were pleased that the Court had accepted the UK's view and we welcomed this as a victory for common sense.

Leaving Presents
Asked if the Prime Minister was hoping for a big leaving present as a result of a Cabinet whip round, the PMS replied that similar questions had been dealt with at morning lobby. The PMOS had said that not only was it rude to ask for present, but it was also inappropriate to comment on such matters.

Health
Asked if Patricia Hewitt's speech implied that she would be in charge of the NHS for the next 10 years, the Prime Minister's Official Spokesman (PMOS) replied that this was just a different kind of reshuffle question, and one that he would not be involved in, so best to leave it there.

Scotland
Put to him that Alex Salmond had now had a response from the Government on Libya prisoner transfer, but that this had come from the Lord Chancellor not the Prime Minister, and asked why the Prime Minister could not bring himself to make contact with the First Minister, the PMOS replied that it was highly usual for relevant Government Ministers to reply to letters from devolved administrations. It was a matter of almost daily occurrence. Let's not pretend there was anything unusual in that. Secondly, as had been said before, there was no doubt that there would be communication at the appropriate time on the appropriate issue. But it was right and proper that the appropriate Minister within Government replied to letters.
