Proceeding contribution from Michael Jack (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 July 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs..


Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

I agree with the hon. Gentleman. I recall, however, that Lord Rooker was careful not to go too far. At a meeting I attended, he came along and said, ““I’ve come here to make sure you know absolutely nothing about what’s going to happen in the future until I’m clear what the detail is.”” So I learned from that that we had a new form of pragmatism in the Department.
