Cameron’s mentor

The Times
The Times

Sir, You report that Andrew Lansley gave his future leader his first political job (“PM’s mentor snubbed over plum UN job”, Mar 10). No, he didn’t. David Cameron was appointed to the Conservative Research Department in July 1988 by me, as deputy director, and Robin Harris, the then director. Robin Harris has said that he regrets the decision; I do not.
