9. Letter to the Chairman of the Committee from the Parliamentary Clerk, 10 Downing Street
Thank you for your letter of 27 June, inviting Mr Simon McDonald to give evidence to the Committee on the Prime Minister's foreign policy priorities.
I regret that Mr McDonald must decline the invitation. The Prime Minister will be appearing before the Liaison Committee in the autumn, and will be happy to answer questions personally then.
I understand that the Foreign Secretary and the Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Sir Peter Ricketts) will be available to give evidence to the Committee as necessary.
