Speaking on Broadcasting House Aitken - a former Conservative cabinet minister - said he sent Huhne a book of psalms, along with a "cheerful" note, and received a "nice letter back".
The middle part of the book takes a more serious turn and some events, such as King Edward VIII's abdication and the cabinet discussions of 1938, provide good passages, but the diary stops for most of 1926-36 and in 1939-44.
