| | PM’s Press Conference — 25 February 2005 |
 | | The national minimum wage however benefits the whole country, UK wide, and as you know there are press conferences taking place now, making the same announcement, in Scotland, chaired by Gordon and with Alistair Darling, and in Wales with Peter Hain, in Northern Ireland with John Spellar. |
 | | Well once again, to repeat, it never was envisaged that the Israelis would attend this conference, we are not at that stage yet. |
 | | So I can assure you that those people who have been intimately concerned with this peace process do not see this as simply a piece of grand-standing or a photo opportunity, far from it. Anybody intimately involved with this process knows that this is absolutely fundamental to getting it right. |
