Per The Telegraph:
Mr Brown was accused of "falling at the first hurdle" in his efforts to reform Westminster by refusing to release the full report of an inquiry into Mr Malik's affairs.
Sir Christopher Kelly, the chairman of the Committee on Standards in Public Life, said last night the report should be published.
If there was a week when Gordon Brown should be bending over backwards to be transparent and not make any schoolboy errors it is this one, immediately after he has clung onto his job in the face of massive pressure on the back of MPs expenses issues.
So how he can think, in that byzantine addled mind of his, that withholding an investigation into a Minister's expenses from public eye is the right way forward is beyond me.

bang on.....
Its the way his mind works...."is it in my interests that this information is released?"
For Brown everything is a calculation, how he got where he is today - in more ways than one
Brown is a a dead man walking, the Labour back benches decision to keep him on is purely out of fear of having a general election right now.
Pure party self interest
If he think's that the 'green shoot's of recovery is going to save him, he's insane.
In any event, Peter Mandalson has been calling the shots ever since he was brought back from europe. A quiet 'coup de' tat' happened back then and this week's antics have merely cemented Mandalson as kingmaker and 'Caretaker Lord Protector'
