BP

Asked if the Prime Minister was disappointed that the US Government was suing BP, the PMS said that this was an issue for the US authorities and for BP. The PMS added that this was not unexpected.

On whether the Prime Minister had had any discussions with the US authorities on the issue, the PMS replied that the Department for Justice in the US said that it would be pursuing criminal and civil investigations on the 1st June and there had been discussions between the Prime Minister and President Obama on the issue around that time.

Asked if there had been any other discussions between officials from both countries, the PMS advised people to check with DECC and BIS, who led on the issue earlier in the year. On whether the Prime Minister had spoken to President Obama on the issue, the PMS said not recently.
