The Independent reports: "Ministers kept no record – and tried to hide details – of Brown adviser's meetings with energy chiefs. Brown's special adviser met energy chiefs off the record, before new power plants were announced."

Also, no sooner had Gordon Brown's minister formally stated his government's support for nuclear power, French-owned energy company EDF, the world's largest nuclear operator [1], announced its plans to build four new nuclear power stations in the UK [2]. And what do you know: Gordon Brown's brother, Andrew, just happens to be EDF's head of media relations [3].
