I'm sure the two MPs will be delighted to know they've got two satisfied customers - which is what the purpose of their replies. It doesn't actually mean they'll do anything, nor, even if they do, that it will have any effect.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic, especially regarding the MP on the Committee, for 2 reasons:

1) He is a Tory MP, who I'm sure will relish the opportunity to challenge the Government for apparently misleading the Committee

2) I didn't mention that he is a former Shadow Secretary to the Treasury, so he should know his stuff

I agree that none of this guarantees a favourable outcome but it's a damn sight better than nothing.
