I have just read that Mr James (Jim) Paice, M.P., has been appointed a Minister of State at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), and I have sent him the following message:
Congratulations, Jim!
As ever,
Geoffrey Woollard.
P.S. (19/5/2010). I rather regret those congratulations now that there appears to be more to Mr Paice's appointment.
