Busy doing nothing:
The number of Government ministers should be slashed by a quarter because too many are "busy doing nothing", a former aide to Tony Blair said.
Matthew Taylor, who was the head of the Number 10 policy unit, said that senior politicians were being paid for "detail" work that should be carried out by officials...
"I would more specifically devolve authority to officials and make officials more accountable to MPs and the public so that politicians don't feel they have to get involved in the fine details." (The Telegraph)
