TELEVISION in the House of Commons has arrived, but none of us has yet been allowed to see the cameras’ work. The lighting is as bright as the Sahara at noon and the days of dozing in the chamber have probably gone, unless the wearing of masks of the sort handed out in aeroplanes to tran s ­ continental travellers becomes customary. The technicians say


that the bright lights are “necessary,” but this is nonsense. The brighter the lights the better the picture, but more natural lighting in what is, after all, a work place, not the stage of the London Palladium, would cer­ tainly not prevent a reasonable film being taken. The b ro ad c a s te rs

With­ out a channel dedicated to Parliament, the pub­ lic is not going to sec Parliament at work, but what the broadcas­ ters want the public to think is Parliament at work, and I suspect that without the Select Committee’s restric­ tions, the difference between Parliament at work and the broadcas­ ters’ version of Parlia­ ment at work would be even more pronounced. So I invite my con­

seem to think that the whole exercise is for their exclusive benefit, an attitude well demon­ strated by all the fuss they have made about the allegedly s tr ic t rules the Select Com­ mittee has imposed. I have no very strong views on these rules, which re q u ire the cameras to focus in the main on whoever is speaking, or whoever the Speaker’s remarks are directed towards.


I HAD a n a s t y experience in Black­ pool. 1 walked into the Imperial Hotel on the Monday before the opening of the Conser­ vative Conference and someone shoved a microphone under my nose and said: “Well, Chief Whip, what are your views on the “col­ lapse” of the pound?” Having spent the earlier part of the day hard at work and not having switched on either the radio or television, I did not know whether the

Instead 1 rambled a bit and hoped for the best. Sub­ sequently I received two rude letters, neither from the constituency, saying I had been talk­ ing pretty good non­ sense, and I am happy to agree.

CONFERENCE invol­ ves too much eating as a result of too many invitations from mem­ bers of the Press. I do not quite understand what they hope to get out of it — 1 suppose the incautious word over the second glass of wine. One prominent member of the Press asked me to dinner when the Conference was last in Blackpool and he failed to turn up. E v e n tu a l ly he phoned the restaurant to tell me that he was locked in the Confer­ ence Hall and the security guards, terri­ fied by his s in is te r demeanour, were refus­

TONY TRAFFORD was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Health last July with the intention of his piloting through the Upper House the NHS reforms. He was raised to the peerage in 1987 and I sh a ll always remember him as the unflappable consultant physician at Brighton Infirmary who, on that dreadful day in 1984, struggled to save the lives of John Wakcham and Margaret Tcbbit. His death last month came as a great shock and is a great sadness to us all.
