By the way, no criticism. I want to repeat here that I am criticising the political system that allows this to happen, not the public servants who are doing, presumably, what they are instructed to do by their political masters. I want to be absolutely clear. I am not trying to shift the responsibility onto public servants who are doing exactly what it says on the tin. They are there to serve the legitimate policy objectives of Ministers.
