The cover that rocked The House

Last week's issue of The House magazine which goes to all MPs and many civil servants featured an unusual 'plain' cover wrap (right).

By coincidence someone who works for Dods, the company that publishes The House, was a guest at the Forest boat party on Wednesday evening.

He brought with him a copy of the relevant issue. It has caused quite a stir apparently.

Hilariously, the 'real' cover featured former public health minister Caroline Flint who helped introduce the smoking ban.

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when Ms Flint discovered that her cover girl moment had been completely obscured by an anti-plain pack campaign advertisement!!

I am led to believe however that the politician with the most steam coming out of his ears was our old friend Stephen Williams, chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Smoking and Health.
