Shortly before Christmas, the Speaker of the House of Lords, Baroness Hayman, invited a group of peers and journalists to a meeting to discuss the economic crisis. I was particularly struck by the contribution of Lord Howe of Aberavon, who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the early years of the Thatcher Government.

In their typical cock-eyed fashion, no one had thought about the Queen's Speech procession when Gordon Bronw made a Member of the House of Commons Lord Chancellor.
