Briefing from the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman on: Iraq and PM’s Speech.
Iraq
Asked about an explosion in Basra this morning, which had injured thirteen British soldiers, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) said that he had no further details about the incident other than the fact that we were not aware of any fatalities at this stage. He advised journalists to remain in contact with the MoD. He said that the Prime Minister had been informed about the explosion earlier this afternoon.
PM’s Speech
Asked if the Prime Minister had had anyone specific in mind when he had talked about the issue of protectionism and the US, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister had been making the British case for the importance of free trade. Put to him that the Prime Minister’s view would appear to contrast with John Kerry’s position, the PMOS advised journalists not to over-interpret his words through a US political election prism. Asked the last time the Prime Minister had made a big speech on the economy, the PMOS reminded journalists that the Prime Minister had addressed the CBI last autumn.
