Scots governance

Sir, The impressive handling of the current crisis by the Home Secretary, John Reid, reminds me of the apocryphal story of the Edinburgh-based Scottish administrator who undertook a rare visit to London.

On his return he was asked how he got on with the English. “I didn’t meet many,” he said. “I was mainly seeing friends who were heads of department.”
