Letter: Qualified right
However, given government minister titles, such as in the case mentioned by Gillian Bishop, of Fergus Ewing as energy minister, there should be a requirement for the chief minister to very publicly state the qualifications and experience of those he appoints at the time of their appointment, so that we can all see if the minister concerned has any ability and relevant knowledge in regard to handling their portfolio. Their actions can then be judged accordingly.
Such information may even go a long way in helping to explain why this country is now in such a shambles, and not just in respect of energy policy.
