Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Industry and the Environment.
Industry and the Environment
Does not the list that my right hon. Friend read out inform us about the way in which the Government operate? There are now more civil servants than soldiers in the Ministry of Defence or policemen in the Home Office. I dare say that there will be more civil servants in DEFRA and its various agencies than there are farmers throughout the United Kingdom and that before very long there will be more civil servants than sheep and cattle on our farms.
