 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Cranborne plotted with No 10 to mislead Hague
Cranborne discussed the text of Blair's proposed response to the deal whereby 91 hereditary peers would be allowed to remain in an interim second chamber.
Cranborne's decision to keep back the deal until the last minute, and then to 'bounce' the Tory leader into agreement, was one of the main reasons why Hague rejected the deal.
Hague also felt Cranborne was being dishonest by refusing to admit that, as a price for the hereditaries' reprieve, Cranborne agreed the Conservatives would bury plans to disrupt the Government's legislative programme.

 Newshound: Links to daily newspaper articles about Northern Ireland
Cranborne's solo run on House of Lords reform, accepting the principle of fundamental change while preserving an hereditary foothold for the aristocracy, was a classic example of the English upper class bending with the wind to survive.
Cranborne's defenders deny the charge and claim that he couldn't have been the leaker since the version which appeared in The Times had not yet landed on the NI committee's desk.

 BBC News | UK Politics | Cranborne attacks Blair's Lords reform 'charade'
Viscount Cranborne - the former opposition leader of the Lords - has broken his silence over reform of the upper house with a blunt warning that Prime Minister Tony Blair "fears" an independent royal commission into its workings.
Lord Cranborne, who was dramatically sacked by Conservative leader William Hague two weeks ago for agreeing a deal with Mr Blair to keep 91 hereditary peers in a transitional house, writes in a letter to Wednesday's Daily Telegraph newspaper that the proposed royal commission must have "broad terms of reference".
Lord Cranborne said the royal commission presents the country with a unique opportunity to examine the purpose and functions of the upper house - and most importantly its relationship with the House of Commons, whose increasing feebleness should be the main concern of all those who believe in parliamentary government.

 Tory crisis over Lords as Hague fires Cranborne
Mr Hague was unrepentant about dismissing Lord Cranborne, whose family, the Cecils, have served governments and monarchs for centuries, for attempting to "bounce" him into the deal with Mr Blair.
But Lord Cranborne said he stood by the deal and would do the same again if he had a chance because his first loyalty was to the House of Lords not the Conservative Party.
Before he was dismissed, Lord Cranborne received overwhelming backing from Tory peers, many of whom believe that they should reach an agreement with the Government which would spare some of the hereditaries.
