So Googling for the relevant phrase yields this:

Mousing over the “Nick Clegg queries…” link at the top yields the link illustrated at the bottom; but when you click through to Nicholas Watt’s article it does not use the word “intent” or any other of the relevant text. I am trying to establish whether the matching search text comes from the original article or somehow from comments, or similar, on Watt’s posting.

Or, it may too have been edited.  But silently. Not sure yet.
