Just received a letter from Dr Howells. It is a long one but the following, in connection with not making live TV in pubs licensable, is a hoot!

-"we are proposing a deregulatory and not a regulatory Bill"

The 'two in a bar rule' was originally introduced as a deregulatory measure!

Good old 'Sir Humphrey', he has drafted our Kim a good one for him to sign this time.
