The Education Secretary's K-reg blue Skoda Octavia, complete with roof rack and Camberley Town FC bumper sticker, was found burned out at Wormwood Scrubs. His wife Sarah Vine said in her Times column: "The car contained my husband's prized 28 CD collection of Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov (unabridged), the collected speeches of Ronald Reagan, Sigh No More by Mumford & Sons, Wagner's Parsifal and a Best of The Smiths collection."
