Sleaze, like its kissing cousin, money, talks. Here are four quotations relating to scandals old and new. Match the quote to the correct minister, MP or Tory grandee and you could win a pounds 150 bottle of Haut-Brion 1985, a fine wine much enjoyed by Corporate Affairs Minister Neil Hamilton, especially when putting on the Ritz.

1 'I shall not hesitate to issue writs for libel and slander if scandalous allegations are made or repeated outside the House.' Who said this, who did he say it to, and what was the 'libel'

2 'I shall sue. I will win but you will ruin my career.'

Who was the speaker and what was the reason for his statement?

3 'My private life has not affected my ability to do my job.'

Who was the speaker and what was the reason for his statement?

4 'Don't let the buggers get you down.'

Who was responsible for this inscription and to whom was it dedicated?
