British PM May to make statement outside Downing Street office
LONDON, April 18 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will make a statement outside her Downing Street office at 1015 GMT on Tuesday following a regular meeting with her senior ministers, May's office said.
It is unusual for leaders to make a statement outside Number 10 Downing Street and most prime ministers only use the setting for major announcements. Her office gave no indication on the subject of Tuesday's statement.
As investors awaited the statement, sterling fell by almost a cent against the dollar and British government bonds extended gains, with yields on 10-year debt falling to their lowest since mid-October. (Reporting by William James, editing by Elizabeth Piper and Guy Faulconbridge)
