Gordon Brown To Discuss Madeleine Case With Portuguese PM

UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is tonight discussing the case of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann with his Portuguese counterpart Jose Socrates.

Gordon Brown is in Lisbon for an EU Summit and has told reporters, “I’m meeting the Portuguese Prime Minister later and we will discuss this issue. I have discussed this issue with him before, to assure myself that the police authorities are taking the actions that are necessary.”

He added he wanted to make sure, “there’s proper cooperation between the British and Portuguese police.”

The Prime Minister has been given regular briefings on the Madeleine case since her disappearance on May 3rd. Mr Brown has also had telephone contact with Madeleine’s parents Gerry and Kate McCann.

Direct contact between the Prime Minister and the McCann’s ended last month when they were named as official suspects. Mr Brown has spoken to the Portuguese premier about the case in July where he thanked them for his help in the efforts to find Madeleine

Do you think that the Prime Minister will do anything to help the Madeleine case?
