  Howard - put that into perspective. If every time an employee fouls up the manager would get punished or sacked. This is absurd. There has to be a sense of perspective.
  
  I employ an administrator. If he makes a mistake then I have the responsibility but did not make the mistake. I need to identify the error and take steps to rectify it including, if necessary changing my procedures. This is exactly what the Minister did in a much more complex case than would appertain to a simple admin error by my administrator. The Minister should be judged by his/her actions and in this case PWC were called in to audit the bid, a move that turned out to be fully justified.
  
  Ministers and Prime Ministers are and should be accountable for policy and how they conduct themselves. The detailed work lower down the organisation is another matter as I explained.
