"Thank you, first of all, for your correction in relation to the location of Truro.
I am, as best I can be, satisfied that the French authorities are not playing for time. They have asked for these clarifications. I believe these requests are not unreasonable. I believe my civil servants and those in the UK can reply and give the information that is necessary. This can be done within a matter of days.
In relation to the delay, I should like to point out that the Scientific Steering Committee’s report was delivered on Friday night. This is the first working day since then so it does not seem to me that there has been much evidence of a delay in the meantime.
In relation to Mr Brown, he and I have discussed this issue on a number of occasions over the last two weeks or more. I have found in my dealings with him a determination on his part to resolve this difficulty as speedily and satisfactorily as possible. You have raised the issue in terms of him having caved in, but that is far from the true position. He has dedicated himself to this in negotiations with me and then with Minister Glavany most assiduously. In my opinion the views and position that were adopted last night were the intelligent, rational, reasonable approach to adopt to this situation and, in my view, is far from a cave-in. I hope that my judgment in this will prove to be right and that within the next ten days or so we will have a final resolution to this particular problem."@en1
