Tom says: I went and talked to the manager.
Roy says:
1) Whose idea was it for you to go and talk to the manager?
2) Whose idea was it to go and talk to the manager?
Are both #1 and #2 acceptable in this context?
The context does make it clear that the agent of 'to go and talk to the manager' is Tom. Is the 'for you' necessary?
