And on the less (or some may say more) important issue of sausage rolls, is there anything you
need from us on that? I’ve ordered a bottle of Wattie’s Tomato Sauce which will hopefully arrive
by Thursday – our PM can bring that, but if there’s anything else you need from me to make that
moment happen let me know (I think the PM has a line about it in the current draft of the
readout J).

Just wanted to follow up on the very important topic of sausage rolls…! I spoke to our PM’s Press

Secretary last night, and he said the PM is very happy for us to do something during the meeting,
with the thinking it would just be for photographers (not full media pack) and meant for a light
social media moment. Let me know if there’s anything you need from us on that (even if that’s
supplying some Wattie’s Tomato Sauce or some Karma Cola to go with the sausage rolls!).
 
Let me know also if you have any thoughts on the additional points raised below too – as always,
happy to chat if easier.

Excellent, thanks! I see the King had the same idea – at this rate it’ll be a British sausage roll taste
test.

Can I just confirm that’s you’re bringing tomato sauce?
