Only because the Government was made, by the Lords, to make some last-minute amendments to the Bill - link (under much protest).
And as Alastair Campbell (Blair's spin-meister) deputy stated
Quote:

Lance Price, Mr Campbell's deputy, called Mr Murdoch "the 24th member of the [Blair] Cabinet". He added: "His presence was always felt. No big decision could ever be made inside No10 without taking account of the likely reaction of three men, Gordon Brown, John Prescott and Rupert Murdoch. On all the really big decisions, anybody else could safely be ignored."

Must be a new definition of reticent I hadn't come across before.
