Lord Hutton has stuck his head above the parapet to talk about his reaction to people's reactions to his little old report. He was 'shocked' by public anger and convinced he'd been 'even-handed' which just shows how right the Government were to pick him to run the Inquiry.
He's going to be quized by MPs in May but [u]nder an agreement between the law lord and the committee's Labour chairman, Tony Wright, MPs have agreed not to question him directly about his findings or challenge his core judgment, which makes you wonder exactly what they'll find to talk about.
Tony Wright: Thank you Lord Hutton for coming to see us today.
Lord Hutton: Thank you.
Tony Wright: ... Lovely day today sin't it.
Lord Hutton: I think you would find, under proper examination that it is wholly consistent with the weather one migth expect for this time of year.
Tony Wright: Are those new glasses your Lordship?
Lord Hutton: No.
Tony Wright: Well, thank you for coming.
Lord Hutton: Not at all. See you at the next whitewash!
