Cameron replied: I would have thought the whole point about a consultation is that you put forward some proposals, you listen to the answer and then you make a decision. I know it is a totally alien concept but what is so complicated about that?
Miliband said: Everybody knows you have to drop this ludicrous policy. Let me give him the chance to do it. Nobody voted for this policy; 500,000 people have signed a petition against the policy. Why doesnt he, when he gets up at the dispatch box, say not say he is postponing the sale but say he is cancelling it?
Cameron replied: Once again, he read the question before he listened to the answer. I think the bandwagon has just hit a bit of a tree.
The Spelman announcement tomorrow will be the governments biggest U-turn since the election. Other U-turns include:
Michael Goves decision to backtrack on plans to abolish dedicated funding for school sport and his offer of consultations with Booktrust over the provision of free books to children.
Dropping plans to publish the names of 3,277 civil servants who earn between £58,000 and £128,000 a year.
Scrapping plans to to remove free milk for the under-fives.
The U-turn will raise questions about Spelman. Cameron, who has been joking about the environment secretary in front of colleagues, believes she has shown poor judgment in failing to appreciate the perils of confronting core middle England voters. Spelman is finished, one senior Tory said yesterday.
