I hadn't thought of that and happened to be having dinner with a friend who used to work at number 10 last night (as a civil servant, not a Tory).
He didn't think this could be possible because he believes May's intent focus on plan A is actually totally genuine - apparently she's really not a 'scenario planner' type and he reckons no way she's playing a game that long. I don't know whether to be relieved or worried about that.
That said Perry's little visit was on BBC R4 PM and I can't find any other evidence of it ever happening, so can only presume PM were given exclusive access, which is interesting.
Given that the PM is insistent that the people will not have another say in the deal, I can only assume that they are considering the possibility of a general election.
