Letter to the Committee Assistant from
the Parliamentary Clerk, 10 Downing Street, dated 9 January 2008
Dear Kevin,
As requested please find attached a copy of the
transcript of the Prime Minister's evidence to the Liaison Committee
with a suggested amendment in "track change" (question
113).
During his evidence to the Committee the Prime
Minister was asked about the British Council in Russia and referred
to an answer by the Foreign Secretary during his appearance before
the Foreign Affairs Committee on 12 December in which the Foreign
Secretary had said that there were only two countries in which
the Council is not allowed to operate: Burma and Iran (question
117). The Foreign Secretary subsequently wrote to the chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and copied to the chairman of
the Liaison Committee, correcting the record. A copy of his letter
is attached.
Yours sincerely,
Nicholas Howard
Parliamentary Clerk
