Brown says NO to Lib Dem proposals
Prime Minister's Questions: CAMPBELL CHALLENGES BROWN OVER PROMISES OF CHANGE
At his first Prime Minister’s questions, Gordon Brown was challenged by Lib Dem Leader Sir Menzies Campbell MP over his promise to bring change to government.
Sir Menzies asked the new PM if he would announce a withdrawal timetable from Iraq, re-open the inquiry into allegations of corruption over arms sales, or announce a renegotiation of the one-sided extradition treaty with America. Mr Brown declined to do any of these. Sir Menzies then asked Mr Brown if he would abandon his "headlong rush" to new nuclear power stations, link tax more to pollution or scrap the council tax. Once again the new PM refused to make any of these changes. [click here for link to BBC report]
