Iraq inquiry
Asked if the Leader of the House had let the cat out of the bag by suggesting that there would be an inquiry into the Iraq war, the PMS said the Prime Minister had already said he was sure that there would be a time where people would want to look into these issues, but now was not that time, whilst our troops were deployed on the ground.

Audience with the Queen
Asked by Gallery News if the PMS had an answer to their earlier question about whether it was an audience "with The Queen" or "of The Queen", the PMS replied that after initial research we thought it was audience with The Queen. When journalists disagreed, the PMS said as always we would go back and look again!

House of Lords Reform
The Leader said that the votes would take place at the end of the debate on March 7. He had announced in the House earlier that he would table the various motions, in draft, on the Order Paper and would be available tomorrow. He had made it clear that he would look at any amendments to them to see if there could be some form of accommodation in the search for a consensus. At present, there would be nine motions - ranging from whether there should be a bicameral House, and then - for a reformed House - whether it should be 100pc appointed, 20pc, 40pc, 50pc, 60pc, 80pc to 100pc elected. There would be a separate motion, irrespective of the view taken of a reformed House, on whether the remaining hereditaries, who had seats in the Lords, should have their places removed.
