My question is to the Prime Minister, and I refer to my previous question and his answer. Given that the account of the leak of the telephone conversation with the US President has been published around the world and given the inescapable implication in every publication that the Prime Minister or his office were responsible for that leak, how will the Prime Minister convince world leaders he is a person who can be relied on to keep a conversation confidential when he has repeatedly failed to deny any responsibility for that leak?
