- Sir Geoffrey Wellingham: If they prosecuted every MP who's sitting on classified papers that don't belong to him, the Commons would be empty. No, face facts, Neil. If the Prime Minister torpedoes Stratford-Baker, he goes down too. With his government.

- Sir Geoffrey Wellingham: Or, until such time as the evidence is overwhelming, he can choose to disbelieve the allegations. Now what would human nature dictate?
