I am not sure he can change his spots quickly. We have bemoaned the fact that useless politicians have no idea what we do as they have never done - Dannett has done. I just hope he sticks to his MoD knowledge (by no means restricted to green) and DOES tell it like it is.
I have a great problem passing good and timely info to a B1/2/3/4/5/6 whatever IPT/PT bloke who has no idea what day it is let alone what I am talking about. They are the interface between industry and us but seem to think they are the filter. Lose them (accept that our staff work will increase) and let the work we do be judged by results, not incompetent PT dinosaurs; they seem to be 20 years behind most of the time. And according to the press (!!!!!) they are 33% - problem solved?
