blimey, did this happen?

"Sir Paul Stephenson claimed early in his evidence that a ?senior Number 10 official? advised, or even asked, the Met not to reveal their relationship with former News of the World deputy editor turned spinner Neil Wallis, due to the fact it would embarrass the David Cameron and Andy Coulson. Sir Paul Stephenson suggested the committee asked Mr Yates who it was."

If he really said that, then that's another career over.
