Prisk: Hansford 'must be candid with ministers'

摘要

Construction minister Mark Prisk has insisted a crucial part of Peter Hansford's role as chief construction adviser will be to tell government when it is proposing something that "is not feasible". Mr Prisk told CN that Paul Morrell had always been clear with Whitehall when it was proposing ideas that the industry could not support and that he expected Mr Hansford to do the same. He said: "I'm sure [Peter] will get his points across [to ministers]. Paul has always been a very good advocate in his ability to make it clear when a discussion within Whitehall is going to be badly received or something that will be difficult for industry to put into practice.
