Spellar 1, Clegg 0

Ministerial Meetings Mr John Spellar (Warley) (Lab): What meetings he has scheduled in his official capacity for Friday 6 May 2011. The Deputy Prime Minister: On 6 May, I will be in government and the right hon. Gentleman will be in opposition. Mr Spellar: I fully understand the Deputy Prime Minister's reluctance to outline any official duties, as he will have to cope with the Lib Dem wipe-out throughout the country, especially in Sheffield. We should sympathise with him for having to do the rounds of the studios, the meetings with panic-stricken colleagues and the visit to the relationship counsellor about the future of the coalition. Will he be going back to transcendental meditation, or will he just be back on the fags? The Deputy Prime Minister: I cannot be bothered to answer that question.
