英國首相卡梅倫粗心大意 把8歲女兒忘在酒館中

David Cameron mistakenly left his eight-year-old daughter in a pub by herself when he drove off without her, it was revealed last night.

The Prime Minister – who had been enjoying Sunday drinks with his family near Chequers – only realised his eldest daughter was missing when he arrived back at his official country residence.

The Camerons had been drinking at the Plough Inn, in Cadsden, Buckinghamshire, with their three children and two other families. As they went to leave, Nancy went off to the toilet without telling them.

The Prime Minister was driven back to Chequers, which is two miles from the pub, with protection officers in one car, while Mrs Cameron drove their other children in another.

Mr Cameron presumed that Nancy was in the car with his wife, while she thought that their daughter had jumped in with the Prime Minister.

A spokesman for the Prime Minister last night said he was ‘distraught’ when he realised what had happened. They later confirmed that Mrs Cameron returned to the pub to pick up Nancy.

‘Thankfully when they phoned the pub she was there safe and well,’ the spokesman said. ‘The Prime Minister went down straight away to get her.’

When Mr Cameron arrived back at the pub he found his daughter happily helping the pub staff. It is understood she had been left by herself for 15 minutes.

The spokeswoman declined to discuss whether Mr Cameron had drunk alcohol. 'He had gone with friends at lunchtime, with a number of families with children, and they left in various different vehicles,' she said.

'As you know, the Prime Minister is a very busy man but he always tries to live as normal a life as possible with his family.'

Last night a pub ‘insider’ said: ‘You’d have thought that someone would have done a headcount or something.’

The source told The Sun: ‘It’s not like you can look up David Cameron in the phonebook and then ring to say you’ve left your daughter behind. ‘It’s frightening that the Prime Minister of Britain can forget something so important as his own daughter.’

【新聞快訊】據英國《每日郵報》6月11日報道，英國首相大衛-卡梅倫近日不小心將8歲的女兒忘在一家小酒館，回到家中後才發現孩子不見了。

英國首相辦公室6月11日證實這一消息。英國官方稱該事件發生在數月前，當時首相一家人在其別墅附近一個酒館剛吃完飯，正準備離開。這時卡梅倫8歲的女兒南希要去廁所，於是他和家人分別乘坐兩輛轎車等候。

卡梅倫和其數名保鏢乘坐一輛車，其妻子和另外兩個孩子坐在另一輛車中。二人都以爲女兒在對方車裏，結果直至回到家中才發現南希不見了。

剛發現孩子不見時，卡梅倫夫婦十分緊張，趕緊給酒館打電話，還好女兒沒事。英國官員稱從和南希分開直至返回接走相隔15分鐘。酒館員工在廁所裏發現她時束手無策，員工說誰也不知道卡梅倫的電話，酒館員工還表示首相能忘了女兒這事“挺嚇人”。
