Damages Actions and Plenary Votes

9.30 After checking emails I meet with Karin (Danish Colleague) on damages actions. She is the shadow for us on this, but I have been more active so we need to find a common line. The rest of the morning is spent on my ‘whip’ tasks of checking the votes for Lib Dems and preparing papers for Friday meetings and weekend work.

11.00 – 12.00 Plenary votes, then more fiddling with papers and discussion of my IP meeting next week. Catch 14.56 Eurostar and get home at 6pm. Tomorrow I have a meeting in London with the Law Society on Fiscal Fraud for which I am the Rapporteur, but I guess we have quite a few other things to discuss too.
