In a letter to the prime minister, Lord Drayson said that the move was "a key step towards my eventual dream of success in the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race". Mr Brown responded by praising his "boldness and imagination" for pursuing his ambition and said he looked forward to his return to government, concluding: "I wish you all the very best of luck with the racing."
Hmm it’s a relief to see that a minister leaving in such circumstances, rather than for something he or she has done or not done.
