BBC Report
I was interested to read that William Hague had 'pledged greater emphasis on "cultivating and retaining knowledge throughout the institution" by ensuring the expertise of senior diplomats was not "lost" after they retired aged 60'.
A little late in the day! How many fundamental foreign policy mistakes have been made as a result of this inflexible and unwise retirement policy?
How many other organisations have suffered as a result of similar policies?
I can think of a few.
Maybe many of the retired experts and knowledgble old hands who have never been consulted or asked for their advice feel that they are 'well out of it'.
