Beecroft report.

Yesterday saw the eventual publication of the Beecroft report by the Government (Link) after the Telegraph leaked a copy earlier in the day. The leaked copy (Link) which would appear to be an earlier draft of the report, contains some elements not included in the official report. This has led to claims of political editing by opposition parties and groups and yet again the Government seem to be driven by events rather than driving the agenda themselves. Indeed, the Business Secretary, Vince Cable is not in full support of the report. His statement on the BIS website is clearly distancing himself and the department from the report (Link).
