PRIME MINISTERS QUESTIONS WEDNESDAY 19TH JULY

Stephen Hesford (PPS (Rt Hon Baroness Amos, President of the Council), Privy Council Office, Wirral West, Labour)

My right hon. Friend will know that the 135th open golf championship is due to start in my constituency tomorrow. This is the first time in nearly 40 years that the championship has taken place at Hoylake. Will my right hon. Friend join me in congratulating the partners who brought that about—the Royal and Ancient and Royal Liverpool golf clubs, and the Labour-led Wirral borough council?

Tony Blair (Prime Minister)

Yes, I certainly give my congratulations to everyone at Hoylake, and on all that they have done to bring the open there. I wish everyone the best of luck.
