Ghosts of Christmas Parties Past


Hansard 16 Jan 2007 : Column 1065W

Mr. Heald: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister (1) if he will publish the invitation list for his Department’s Christmas party; [108490] (2) what the budget is for his Department’s Christmas party. [108491]
The Deputy Prime Minister: I hosted a short early-evening reception for some of the civil servants and Ministers who have provided me with support over the past year.

And you can bet Tracey wasn't on the guest list this year...

According to the Sun she is back at the Office of the DPM - " but is BANNED from working with ministers."

A source said: “John Prescott was scared she would come back to haunt him and she has.

“Tracey knows her rights and put her foot down. She insists she’s done nothing wrong and that if Mr Prescott can keep his job, so can she.”

Did she go to an employment tribunal - I'd love to read the transcript and outcome.

Follow-up question:
"Was the reception the only thing that was short? Only we've been hearing rumours..."
