The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said No 10 will continue to assist the inquiry. 'What possible information do they have which has not already been in the public domain?’ 'This Machiavellian inquiry is the means to a by-election and Conservative MPs should have no part in it.’Ĭonservative peer Baroness Foster said: ‘No problem with scrutiny – but just look at the group who are supposed to be doing it.
