From the tone of the Newsnight interview with Des Browne yesterday, don't hold your breath.

The bean-counter mentality has started to click back in again and they are running around trying to reinterpret what Blair meant to say. Paxo asked Browne straight out if he was certain that there were no examples of lives being lost due to failure to deliver kit. Browne took the NL party line, as usual.

If Max Hastings thought Hoon was a weak Defence Minister, what must he think of Browne?
