  Headteachers mock Jesse Norman's claim Eton breeds best public servants
  
  Tory MP says number of old Etonians in government is due to other schools not having same
  
  'commitment to public service'
  
  Jesse Norman MP, himself an old Etonian, is now a high level policy adviser in the Tory
  
  government.
  
  An attempt by one of David Cameron's policy advisers to defend the number of old Etonians
  
  in government backfired when he was lampooned by headteachers for claiming that Eton was
  
  better than other schools at promoting a "commitment to public service".
  
  Jesse Norman, the Tory MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, himself an old Etonian,
  
  suggested on Saturday that its pupils received the best grooming for office because of the values
  
  the school instils in them. "Other schools don't have the same commitment to public service.
  
  They do other things," said Norman, who was one of two old Etonians to be promoted to top policy
  
  roles by Cameron last week.
