Sources, please?
Call me a pedant, but ... any chance of some references for the assertion about assassination attempts?

FRU's actions
Is there any need for the description of the FRU's shortcomings? In an article so void of substance, surely we don't need this? --Harlsbottom 23:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Media mention for page
The Telegraph mentions this page - so if anyone knows the template to add to this page, please do. See here - MPs' scandals covered up on Wikipedia, Telegraph -Rrius (talk) 22:43, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

University/early military career
Can anyone help expand this section with dates? The panorama programme referenced (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kfytm) shows him as a cadet aged 19. Several sources (found by googling Patrick Mercer Oxford) show he joined his father's regiment AFTER graduating. Was he one of those select few who graduated at the age most people matriculated? However, I can't find any further details on his education. I think if he was to enter Sandhurst as a 19 year old Oxford graduate that is quite an achievement and should be expanded upon once reliable sources are found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HallucigeniaUK (talk • contribs) 11:31, 10 October 2011‎ (UTC)

Position at 'Homeland Security'
Er, the article describes him as a "shadow minister for homeland security". Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the United Kingdom even has a 'department for homeland security'. This either needs to be sourced or removed immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.158.40.196 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 17 January 2013‎ (UTC)

Date of resignation
The 29th was when he announced his intention to resign. The 30th was when he was appointed to an office of profit under the Crown and thus actually did. Lovingboth (talk) 00:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
