At the same time the Prime Minister to invite President Barraso to present Paddles for Life to President Obama and President Hu. The two Paddles for Life have already been signed by the Prime Minister, most of the Cabinet, the Leaders of the Opposition, the Chinese Ambassador, President Barroso and people at every level of society in the United Kingdom.
