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.

One of the problems with Anonymous internet forums is some people just want to be very negative. Personally I would happily join a site where you had to give your name and address to join and post - just to weed out the trolls. hmmmm - I feel a plan B coming on...
