When I first came to Lowe (at the end of 2005), people were focusing 70% of their time discussing the internal structure of Lowe and the internal politics, and the one thing that I think we successfully managed t

[said:]: The number of ministers has been growing ever since the 1950s, driven in part by the desire of prime ministers to hand out patronage positions and secure votes. Some junior ministers do important and difficult jobs. However, there are too many and it is absurd that civil servants should be having to make work for those who are underemployed.
