The government has abandoned plans to hold White House-style televised briefings – despite spending \u00a32.6m on a new studio.<\/p>\n
Boris Johnson’s press secretary, Allegra Stratton, who had been expected to front the new media briefings, will now become spokeswoman for the COP26 climate change summit.<\/p>\n
Ms Stratton said: “I am delighted to be starting this new role.<\/p>\n
“The COP26 climate conference is a unique opportunity to deliver a cleaner, greener world and I’m looking forward to working with the prime minister and Alok Sharma to ensure it is a success.”<\/p>\n
