That is a very serious suggestion. I would not recommend that the hon. Gentleman repeat it outside the Chamber.

Mike Amesbury (Weaver Vale) (Lab)

- Hansard - -

I welcome the new Minister to his place. Will he clarify the statement he made earlier that the former Chancellor, the right hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), is part of the tinfoil hat brigade perpetuating a conspiracy theory in regard to this serious matter?

Mr Clarke

- Hansard - - - Excerpts

I have a great deal of admiration for the former Chancellor, but I am clear that in this case he is wrong.
