    Clarke Interview

    SITTING in his office holding a bin bag and looking a little over-awed by the mess around him, Ken Clarke somehow resembled a school boy who had been ordered to clean his room.

    His loyal secretary did nothing to dispel the impression when she asked, with just a pinch of sarcasm, whether he might like to open the two rather dusty boxes stacked against the wall.

    They had apparently been there since the Rushcliffe MP moved in, but now he was leaving his large office over-looking the Thames to go to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).
