		And the attack has been widened by committee chairman John Horam, who accuses Chancellor Gordon Brown of having a "now you see it, now you don't" attitude to green tax policy.
		But Mr Horam said that, alongside last year's scrapping of the fuel duty escalator, the tax cuts were a "dangerous" decision that sent a "confusing and misleading" signal to the public.
		But Mr Horam welcomed an assurance from Treasury minister Stephen Timms that the government would reconsider the need for a fuel duty escalator in the light of any future sharp fall in the price of crude oil.

		Holding together his 21 seat majority over the life of a Parliament was always going to be tough, especially with the Conservatives so divided over Europe, but it is a testimony to his dogged determination that the Tories were not forced to go to the country before May 1997.
		When John Horam, a junior minister in the Department of Health, came out against the currency, Mr Major was again forced to back down and offer his party a free vote on the subject.
		John Major's capitulation to the Euro-sceptics and his refusal to sack John Horam delighted the oppostion parties, as did the Prime Minister's failure to notify Kenneth Clarke of the change in policy and his subsequent remark that he did not have to notify "Kenneth Clarke or Joe Bloggs" of a change in policy.

		Giles Radice was a moderate Labour M.P. who remained in the party, resisting the temptation to join the S.D.P., and helped Neil Kinnock, John Smith and Tony Blair to marginalise and defeat the extreme left.
		John Smith and George Robertson represented deprived Lanarkshire constituencies but preferred the elegant surroundings of Edinburgh`s Morningside and small-town Dunblane for their own domiciles.
		Similarly John Horam combined his position as Labour M.P. for Gateshead with life in an old town house in King`s Cliffe in rural East Northamptonshire (a few miles away from Radice).
