Blair moves towards daily, televised lobby briefings
Michael White and Patrick Wintour
Thursday September 4, 2003
The Guardian
Tony Blair yesterday heralded the age of White House-style televised press
briefings, in response to a committee of experts called in to help rid his
government of the taint of ruling by spin.
Unbundling Alastair Campbell's Downing Street communications empire, Mr Blair
accepted that a neutral civil servant, not a political appointee like Mr
Campbell, must be in overall charge of the Whitehall information network. But he
also insisted that the press and broadcasters "share in the responsibility for
improving" what the Phillis review group yesterday identified as "a three-way
breakdown in trust" between government, media and the public.
Mr Blair urged the review group, chaired by Bob Phillis, chief executive of the
Guardian Media Group, to address further reform of the daily No 10 press
briefings for lobby journalists - including the possibility that they be
televised and, where possible, conducted by elected ministers, not officials.
"Would such steps enhance government communications and help counter the
adversarial relationship you refer to between politicians and the media?" Mr
Blair wrote to Mr Phillis.
The review group will take into account the findings of the Hutton inquiry
report on the death of David Kelly, the weapons scientists involved in the row
over the Iraqi intelligence dossier, itself a by-product of the spin wars.
Although the BBC and other broadcasters, in evidence to the review, have urged
televised briefings on the US model in the name of greater trans parency, there
is no consensus within the review group.
Mr Phillis said yesterday: "The one overriding issue which comes from the Hutton
inquiry is a very clear demonstration of the importance of transparency and
openness."
With parliament due to return to Westminster next week for a new style of autumn
session - lasting two weeks - Mr Blair also signalled his renewed focus on the
domestic agenda yesterday by announcing a wider shake-up of his policy apparatus
at No 10.
Geoff Mulgan, who runs the No 10 strategy unit, will also take over as head of a
merged policy unit from Andrew Adonis, who is taking on a wider brief. Matthew
Taylor, who runs the IPPR thinktank, will join No 10 to formulate policy for the
next election.
The intended message from the shake-up is that the prime minister will not be
deflected from controversial public service reforms, such as student top-up fees,
but will seek to be more inclusive with respect to MPs, unions and Labour
activists, and franker with voters.
The main points of yesterday's interim report were immediately accepted by No 10
as it struggles to restore credibility to a government battered by the Hutton
inquiry, skirmishes such as the Cheriegate row, and public scepticism about NHS
and other modernisations.
They are:
・ a senior civil servant, based in the Cabinet Office with permanent secretary
rank, to be in overall charge of strategy and further professionalisation of
government communications at the centre;
・ appointment of a deputy, almost certain to be Tom Kelly, currently joint
spokesman, as the prime minister's senior official spokesman;
・ the separation of the role of director of communications, the post that Mr
Campbell is handing over to David Hill, so that its holder handles purely
political communications.
Mr Hill will not enjoy Mr Campbell's controversial right to direct civil
servants, a status that, with hindsight, may have been counter-productive.
Mr Phillis said last night: "Is this the death of spin? Of course not. Any prime
minister will want to have political advisers and they have a legitimate and
proper role."
