Anybody there?

I  personally find the commentary from David Allen Green (Ft/twitter/blog) the most informative. A lot of this is
PR and smoke & mirrors!

On another list, people said a week or two ago that sending two letters would be a "breach of the Padfield principle (Padfield v Minister of Agriculture [1968] AC 997) which means that the government cannot exercise its powers in order to frustrate a statute"

But I haven't followed that up to see if such a principle would in fact apply (although I think he *is* exercising a power by writing both the 2nd and third letter).
