§ Mr. Keith SimpsonTo ask the Prime Minister which Government officials and special advisers are advising NATO headquarters on presentational and media relations. [85380]
§ The Prime Minister[holding answer 25 May 1999]: Last month the NATO Secretary General and SACEUR asked my Chief Press Secretary to visit NATO and advise on media relations. Since then he and a number of other Government officials have been helping NATO and SHAPE deal with the enormous media demand. They are working with NATO staff and officials from several other NATO countries.
Effective communications are important, particularly when Milosevic has a state run media and no cameras are allowed to film the atrocities being carried out in Kosovo.
