Welcome to the Deputy Prime Minister's Website
In May 2006 the Prime Minister asked John Prescott to oversee and
co-ordinate the efficient development of Government policy across the full
range of domestic policy areas, which he will do through his chairmanship
of a number of major Cabinet Committees. The Prime Minister also asked him
to continue with his international work particularly with regard to China,
and, in recognition of his work in delivering the Kyoto Treaty, to work
with the Foreign Secretary and the Secretary of State for the Environment
on implementing our domestic post-Kyoto environmental objectives within the
UK
