type your meeting mr. Humphrey yes yes fine fine what about it's the proposed village that visit to the world processing conference in Brussels Humphrey you'll be pleased to hear that I have changed my mind I shall be going to Brussels after all you're resigning from the department's of administrative I'm talking about this word-processing conference I see but I would like to see Brussels for myself anyway why why not why not indeed but why I'm a curious person you certainly are Minister and I think I've been a little hasty I found your arguments on behalf of Brussels thoroughly convincing Minister I've been reflecting on your views and I find much truth and wisdom in your criticism of Brussels no now you've implied the digis corrupt and my eyes know you who have convinced me oh no no I I am NOT in this the Brussels is full of dedicated men all bearing a heavy burden travel and entertainment they need all that luxury you're drinking caviar and champagne private planes air-conditioned Mercedes knows the diplomatic we all zero have their hands snaps it looks off that is not an attractive phrase oh I can't think where I picked it up we all go to this conference in Brussels show me aggressor yes is your change of heart about Brussels entirely to do with my argument there's a costume it wouldn't have anything to do with the rumor that you've been offered a post in Brussels yourself I'm free that thought is not worthy of you there is such a thing as integrity [Music] thank you cool Oh someone that cool you simply can't get someone like Corbett using the department to be disastrous I mean everything mind says to Corbett appears in the Sun the next morning glad to know you read the Sun oh you really must stop I'm I'm not the Prime Minister no but it is really you who arranges the reshuffle though isn't it no if there's an appointment the PM is really set on the cabinet secretary must reluctantly acquiesce but I mean you you do keep your hand on the tiller well if Hecker decides to turn down vassals it will make it a lot easier to keep Corbett away from your department well I'm afraid that's just the trouble I think he's got to take Brussels oh I know he says he believes in the European ideal [Laughter] [Applause] but you know how it is with politicians they get taken in by their own speeches this is partly your fault you know Humphrey you blocked hacker time and again but only in the interests of good government not quite but what you really need now is the hacker to have a big success in the next day or two a big success yes the next day or two that would give me give the PM a very good case for keeping him where he is then we might be able to move Corbett to employment oh wise Fred definitely going yeah who keeps falling asleep in cabinet I thought they all did yes but not while they're actually talking you
