Prime Minister's statement on the death of Sir David Frost

Statement from David Cameron following the death of broadcaster and writer Sir David Frost.

This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government

The Prime Minister said:

My heart goes out to Carina and the family. Sir David was an extraordinary man - with charm, wit, talent, intelligence and warmth in equal measure. He made a huge impact on television and politics. The Nixon interviews were among the great broadcast moments - but there were many other brilliant interviews. He could be - and certainly was with me - both a friend and a fearsome interviewer.
