Asked to comment on reports that the Government would send more troops to Afghanistan due to other NATO forces being withdrawn, the PMS said that the Ministry of Defence had made clear that the Government did not recognise those reports and had no current plans to do so.
Asked if the Prime Minister had felt stung by soon to be published comments made by the Schools Minister in a new book, the PMS replied that he would not be making any comment at all on the book.
Asked about reports highlighting the issue of the Government taking back money from schools that had not spent it by the end of the year, the PMS said that it would be best to talk to the Department on the specifics.
Asked if there was a specific focus for the Prime Minister’s meeting with Prime Minister Olmert, the PMS said that it had been in the diary for some time, Prime Minister Olmert was in London and they would want to take stock of where things stood in the Middle-East peace process and other regional issues.
