Gentlefolk,

I wonder what this bodes for his Digital Britain report and how the UK will be provisioned with the vital Broadband assests so much needed ?

Sorry Im a bit behind on this topic

>> Lord Carter is said to have told Mr Brown that he was willing to serve only until July.

Does anyone know yet who is going to fill his shoes?

@ Kitz,

It seems that Stephen Timms MP is to do so, reporting to Lord Mandleson and Ben Bradshaw.

However how much can be accomplished in the dying embers of this parliament remains to be seen.

Kind regards,

>> The BBC reports that Mr Timms will remain in his Treasury role and report to both Lord Mandelson and Ben Bradshaw.

So its a 'part-time' role?

With this bunch it will be more like filling their boots!
