Description

Interview with MPs Brian Sedgemore and Nicholas Ridley on the Commons Select Committee report on the power of civil servants. They speak about how civil servants are ruling the country (and not very well); they consider how the service can take power due to the way the ministers have no power to stop it. Each person puts across each side of the argument.
