Despite the assurances from Blair and Mandelson, Conservative shadow foreign secretary William Hague said that ministers should now release all documentation of their meetings with Gaddafi and his son, to prove beyond doubt that the fate of Megrahi had not been part of a deal.
So can we assume from this that if the Tories win the next election and Hague becomes Foreign Secretary, we can expect him to release every bit of documentation on everything he does in the Foreign Office to prove beyond doubt he’s not making any deals we might not like? I look forward to this new entirely open era of foreign policy, though I do wonder if any other country’s representatives will want to talk with Hague about anything more substantive than the weather.
EDIT: Sorry, forgot to put the link to the original story in. Must be a Sunday morning thing, but it’s there now.
