	Downing Street Says...: Tessa Jowell
		Put that Tessa Jowell believed that she had not breached the Ministerial Code, and was that to say that there was still a debate about whether she had or not, the PMOS said that that was what Tessa Jowell's statement had dealt with.
		Asked again if Tessa Jowell had kept in touch every step of the way, and therefore, had the Permanent Secretary agreed that she had not breached the Ministerial Code, the PMOS said he was not going to speak on behalf of the Permanent Secretary as that was not his role.
		Put that the PMOS had told journalists that Tessa Jowell had made that judgment, and that she had discussed that judgement with her Permanent Secretary, and unless the Permanent Secretary and Tessa Jowell had reached different conclusions, then therefore, she had the Permanent Secretary's backing, the PMOS replied that he was simply stating the facts.

	Morning press briefing from 27 February 2006
		Jowell had "fallen foul" of it, the PMOS said that as people knew, Tessa Jowell had said at the weekend that she believed that she had not done anything that conflicted with her interests as a Secretary of State, and that she had kept within the Ministerial Code.
		Clearly, Tessa Jowell, as she had been throughout, would continue to discuss the matter with her Permanent Secretary to ensure that she kept within the Ministerial Code and that her understanding of it was correct.
		The facts were that Tessa Jowell had said that she did not believe that she had broken the Ministerial Code, or that there had been a conflict of interest, and she had continued to keep her Permanent Secretary informed of such matters.

	Crystal Palace Campaign - Tessa Jowell - public Meeting
		Tessa Jowell has asked me to chair this meeting and I am privileged to be able to do so.
		Tessa knows me, knows me very well and I do believe it was my meeting with Tessa that brought her round here today.
		Our primary concern, as Tessa recognises, is the traffic and the parking and we fear very much that we are going to have a parking zone inflicted upon us which we already know from the enormous petition that we received last year will not be welcomed by our constituents.

	Tessa Jowell warns of BBC concerns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		LONDON -- Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell said Friday the BBC may face consequences for controversial news reports relating to the Iraq war and the death of Defense Ministry scientist David Kelly, but she emphasized that the issue will remain "separate" from the government's comprehensive review of the pubcaster's Royal Charter.

		Jowell refused to be drawn on the matter but said the BBC must retain the trust of the public.

		In an interview with the Guardian, during which she repeatedly expressed anger and astonishment at the "scale of misrepresentation" which her bill had attracted in the media, Ms Jowell also assured MPs that there will be no "Las Vegas-style" casinos which simply duplicated the American model.
		Ms Jowell is not yet willing to be specific about any concessions she might make as Conservative, Liberal Democrat and some Labour MPs prepare to vote against the bill's Commons second reading on Monday.
		But Ms Jowell insists her bill was four years in preparation and the policy behind it greeted with near universal acclaim - until the past 10 days of newspaper attacks, led by the Daily Mail's "kill the bill" campaign.

		In an interview with The Telegraph, Ms Jowell suggested that elitism and anti-American sentiment were the true motives of some campaigners against the Gambling Bill.
		Ms Jowell's comments will be seen as a thinly veiled attack on a campaign spearheaded by the Daily Mail and supported by some Labour MPs and former ministers against her attempt to liberalise Britain's gaming laws.
		Ms Jowell suggested, however, that many of the critics of her reforms were acting out of more than a moral opposition to gambling.

		The UK's Culture Secretary, Tessa Jowell, thinks that the great British public is about to prove those people wrong, as "whingers" put London's Olympic bid in peril.
		Then Ms Jowell would be obliged to find non-taxpayers money for her project, which might cause her to reflect a little before proceeding further.
		Given, I hope, that Tessa Jawohl will by then be a rather dusty footnote in the history of Gauleiter Blair and his All Singing All Dancing Troupe of Authoritarians then I would actually rather like to see the Olympics in London.
