The people who attend are reported in the papers, viz:-
"The session, complete with US military band playing God Save the
Queen and The Star Spangled Banner, was well attended by Old Guard
Reagan Republicans and Thatcherite Tories — Michael Howard, George
Osborne, Liam Fox, Eric Pickles deep in conversation (about the
homeless?) with Iain Duncan Smith. Wellwishers with time and money on
their hands turned up. So did younger Tory MPs hoping to inhale some
of the Reagan stardust."
