Singing coach

Watching the car parks has always been a handy way of tracking who's briefing who. So some interest should be attached to the sighting last week of a coach, billed as being on loan to outsize tenor Luciano Pavarotti's touring company, parked outside the Department for Education and Employment's Tothill Street office. Is Mrs Shephard planning to ask him to sing to educationists, or just sit on them?
