I have just received a letter from the Prime Minister, David Cameron, confirming that their records suggest Neil Wallis did meet Andy Coulson at Downing Street.The letter comes following questions I asked the Prime Minister during the statement on Public Confidence in the Media and Police on July 20.

10 DOWNING STREET
26 July 2011
Dear Kevin,
During the statement on Public Confidence in the Media and Police on 20 July you asked about meetings between Andy Coulson and Neil Wallis at Downing Street.
Our records suggest Mr Wallis visited Downing Street once since the election to meet Mr Coulson for a drink on 26 May 2010, but we cannot confirm whether this meeting actually took place. There are no records of any further meetings with Mr Coulson.
We do not have a full record of personal or social encounters Andy Coulson may have had with Neil Wallis, however we believe he was present at a working dinner held by Sir Paul Stephenson at Scotland Yard for Ed Llewellyn and Andy Coulson in June 2010.
Yours
David
