Absolutely right. Perhaps better to say they endorse the requirement. I tend to think they should cut out their middle man (the RqM) and relocate to Bristol or their outstation at Shrivenham. Closer contact with DPA would eliminate the silly mistakes that delay programmes. It is an enormous waste of highly skilled officers to have them twiddle thumbs for 2+ years as a RqM when there is a raft of capable, but more junior, civvies begging to do the jobs. (At half the price!).
