Beckett defends DEFRA
MARGARET Beckett has defended the Prime Minister's decision to scrap the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions by replacing them with her new Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
The move was more than "re-branding a can of beans" she said yesterday, in her first important 'green' speech since taking office, claiming that DEFRA aimed at being outward-looking and was keen to forge change.
