Peter Hain

Asked if the Prime Minister had made any attempts to satisfy himself as Leader of the Labour Party by speaking to Peter Hain about the funding of his Deputy Leadership campaign, the PMS replied that this was not a question for him to answer.

Asked if they could assume that the Prime Minister retained full confidence in Peter Hain as a Minister, the PMS replied "yes".

Asked if the Prime Minister was happy and had full confidence in a Minister who was in charge of one of the biggest spending departments in the country, who he acknowledges himself takes his eye if the ball, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister commented on this in his interview with the Sun this morning, and he had nothing further to add to that.

Asked if bearing in mind the Prime Minister’s view on ministerial conduct, would it be fair to say that any Minister who breaches any law would have to go, the PMS replied that he could see where he was being led, but he was not going to get into hypothetical questions.
