Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

I seek some clarity about the theme raised by my right hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield, Brightside (Mr. Blunkett). The hon. and learned Gentleman will know that there is much alarm in Whitehall about some of the utterances from Conservative Front-Bench Members about their intentions for the civil service. In particular, it is believed that people are being told that business people will be imported, through political appointments, to give orders to civil servants. Will he say categorically that that is not the case?
