HC Deb 22 October 1990 vol 178 c16
64. Mr. Winnick

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many written questions he has answered since he last answered questions in the Chamber.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

Three, Sir.

Mr. Winnick

That does not seem very many. Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he appears to have become the Prime Minister's fall guy in all the Government's present difficulties? Is he happy with that role, or does he fear that it will not be long before Mr. Ingham starts a whispering campaign against him? Many of the right hon. Gentleman's former Cabinet colleagues know full well how Mr. Ingham works in this regard.

Mr. Baker

The hon. Gentleman should know that I am very happy in my work, and that I intend to preside over a campaign in which he will lose his seat in Walsall, North just as he lost his seat in Croydon, North.
