Suits you, m'lord!

Lord Elis-Thomas

I bring you news of the "respect agenda" as trailed by during his tour of the UK's capital cities.

The was apparently rather impressed with one aspect of his visit to Cardiff above all others - the presiding officer's suit.

The immaculately turned-out was, according to the PM, wearing one of the sharpest suits he'd seen. Respect indeed.

Mr Cameron stopped short of asking the Plaid Cymru AM for the name of his tailor, but he was keen to tell Tory backbenchers of his discovery at a soiree in No 10.

He was so taken with the cut of his garment, if not the cut of his jib, that he had a little local difficulty pronouncing Lord E-T's first name.

As an MP, Dr Elis Thomas, as he then was, was always smartly turned out. Indeed, in the run-up to his Commons retirement in 1992, I speculated that his good humour was down to the fact that he was the only MP with a demob-suit made by Giorgio Armani.
