What's Francis Maude up to?

Something tells TB that Francis Maude is circling for a kill. The ghosts of Wheelen, Draper and McBride will haunt Brown's government to the very end but it is a mystery to why Maude asked these specific two questions in the House yesterday:

"
Mr. Maude
: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change on what date he last met Mr. Damian McBride in the course of his official duties. [287404]

Joan Ruddock: There have been no such meetings."


And:

"
Mr. Maude
: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills when the Secretary of State last (a) met and (b) communicated with (i) Mr Derek Draper and (ii) Mr Charlie Whelan in the course of his official duties. [287350]

Mr. McFadden: My noble Friend the Secretary of State met Mr. Charlie Whelan on 15 January in the course of his official duties."


Nice dodge on the Draper question.
