 Humphrey then suggests that if a journalist — such as the one he's about to have lunch with — got hold of the document, there would be a national outcry, and, as they have to circulate copies to every department, it would be difficult to track down the source of any leak that might occur.Sir Humphrey has lunch with Peter Maxwell, a journalist from "The Times" over which he outlines the negative implications of the policy on the constituency and then he 'accidentally' leaves a copy of Hacker's memo for the journalist to retrieve.A few days later, Hacker is called back to Number 10, where Sir Mark Spencer informs him of the PM's displeasure after their confidential report had appeared in "The Times".
