There are certain Parliamentary exchanges that beg more questions than they answer.
This from the 20th July...
Francis Maude: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport on what date the Secretary of State last met Mr. Damian McBride in the course of his official duties.
Chris Mole: The Secretary of State for Transport has never met Mr. McBride in the course of his official duties.
Oh to have been a fly on the wall at those non-official meetings...
