Minister numbers

Asked if the Prime Minister would be studying the Public Administration Committee’s report recommending a reduction in the number of ministers, the PMS said we will consider the findings of the report.

Unions

Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned about a threat of strike action from public service unions, the PMS said that we had a very clear position on strikes and would not speculate about what may or may not happen. We thought it best to get round the table and discuss things.
