RT HON
JACK STRAW
MP, MR DAVID
RICHMOND CMG AND
DR PETER
GOODERHAM
15 MARCH 2006
Q260 Andrew Mackinlay: At all, or
for the time being?
Mr Straw: I cannot say for ever
and a day.
Q261 Andrew Mackinlay: I am not being
facetious, but clearly you do not want us to go there?
Mr Straw: Where you go is a matter
entirely for you, Mr Mackinlay, I would not presume to determine
that. I try to be as forthcoming as I can, but—
Q262 Andrew Mackinlay: Okay. I did
not mean that facetiously, I just wanted to understand whether
you wanted more time to find out about it or—
Mr Straw: No, not necessarily,
thank you.
Chairman: If, on reflection, you think
there is anything more you can tell us, you will send us a note.
Could I now just conclude today's session. We have given you a
lot of questions covering a huge range of areas, including some
you probably were not expecting, but I am grateful to you for
once again coming along. We will no doubt see you again in the
not too distant future to probe these matters further. Thank you
to your colleagues and yourself, Foreign Secretary.
