FOR some MPs,

the most startling recent Commons development was not the bungled Budget, but the knee-length brown suede boots and short skirt worn the other day by Anne-Marie Trevelyan, 47. The Tory backbencher was sitting two rows behind ministers, and Opposition MPs found themselves distracted every time she crossed her legs. ‘She was in a pelmet-length skirt and these remarkable boots,’ gasps one male MP. ‘It was unsporting as it made it almost impossible for us to concentrate on what ministers were saying.’
