David Cameron accidentally left his daughter behind in a country pub after a Sunday lunch with friends following a mix-up over which car she was meant to be going home in, his Downing Street office said.
Cameron was swiftly reunited with 8-year-old Nancy, one of his three young children, but the incident will add fuel to critics who accuse him of being overly fond of relaxing, or “chillaxing” as he has called it, when not dealing with affairs of state.
Its disclosure in the Sun newspaper has the potential to embarrass Cameron, coming on the day the government launched a fresh drive to tackle “problem families” who lead chaotic lives and cost taxpayers millions of pounds in policing and welfare costs.
Cameron and his wife Samantha only discovered their eldest child was missing when they returned to their official country residence, Chequers in Buckinghamshire, 40 miles northwest of London.
The 16[SUP]th[/SUP] century mansion is a short drive from the Plough Inn where they had been dining with two other families.
Nancy had gone to the toilet and been overlooked when her parents left in separate vehicles.
“The Prime Minister and Samantha were distraught when they realised Nancy wasn’t with them,” said a Downing Street spokeswoman, adding that the incident occurred around two months ago.
“Thankfully when they phoned the pub, she was there safe and well. The Prime Minister went down straight to get her,” she added.

Re: Cameron left daughter in pub
How come social services didnt pay him a visit? Oh let me guess... because hes PM. If this were an ordinary couple, they would have be in trouble, especially since its a pub and not the park etc.

I would guess it's a pub-restaurant with a garden, kids play area etc so children are allowed to be there.. not a normal pub for only over 18s..
