« General Petraeus | Back to most recent briefing | First Minister »
Asked if Dawn Primarolo’s announcement today on eye treatment had breached Purdah conventions, the PMS said no. What Dawn Primarolo had been talking about today was results from research that had already been supported by £1 million of the Department of Health research money; this was not new money that had gone in, this was about results from research that had been underway for some time.
Asked if the Telegraph’s story that the Prime Minister had been on the verge of making concessions on 48 days but that at the last minute the Home Secretary had protested was true, the PMS said that she had seen that report but that it was not one that we recognised; the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary were in perfect accord on this particular issue, as well as every other issue.
