'KGB tried to recruit me on my gap year'
12 April 2012
The Prime Minister told today how the KGB tried to recruit him as a spy when he was a teenager.
David Cameron visited Russia in 1985 on a gap year, he told students in Moscow. He was approached at a Black Sea resort by two Russians.
"They took me out to lunch and dinner and asked me about life in England and what I thought about politics."
He told his Oxford tutor about the experience. "He asked me whether it was an interview. If it was, it seems I didn't get the job!"
