Peers List
« Education Bill | Back to most recent briefing | Peerages »
Asked if Dr. Chai Patel had withdrawn his name from the list of proposed peers, the PMOS said that his answer to all questions on this matter had remained the same since the beginning. That answer was that he would not give a running commentary on the process. The more he had been asked, the more he remained convinced of the merits of the convention which was that we did not discuss this matter at all until the list had been published. Put to him that he had discussed this the other day, the PMOS said that if by discussion the journalist was referring to the time honoured process of journalists asking him questions and him patiently re-iterating his desire not to comment or in other words dodging such questions, then that was setting the bar a little low.
