    1)Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Does almost every organisation she worked for have to change it’s name!)
    2)Baroness James of Holland Park

    Congratulations to Croft who got in first with the correct answers. That was quick. Steph came in not too far behind, though with apparently less certainty than Croft!

    The answers are indeed cross-bencher Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Elspeth Howe) and Conservative Baroness James of Holland Park, better known as the novelist P. D. James.

    Clearly, this week’s questions have not proved as tough as last week’s. I am working on the next ones.

    Perhaps it’s like the crossword Lord Norton, only half the solution is the question the other half is slowly starting to understand the way the mind of the setter works 🙂
