New Job for Hoon
Geoof Hoon was famously prevented from answering questions on Europe by his boss Margaret Beckett last week. So you may wonder what he does for a living. Last week I asked all Government departments about their use of energy saving lightbulbs. Geoff Hoon replied to me on behalf of the Foreign Office. Perhaps he used his spare time to count every one. Incidentally, the DTI, which covers the energy portfolio, uses the fewest amount of energy saving bulbs of any department (27%).
