Skiing more important than the recession for Tory Business spokesman

(Just catching up - I find it very healthy only to look at Iain Dale's Diary when I really have nothing else whatsoever to do, which is about once every fifty years.)

You have to wonder about the leadership of the Conservative party. They organised a hugely high profile "away day" to study the effects of the recession. All the big guns from the shadow cabinet were out on the road looking at businesses with one exception.

Only their shadow Business Secretary.

And where was he?

Skiing in Klosters.

(He said it was a previously arranged commitment but even Caroline Spelman managed to squeeze in the "away day" before jetting off to join Duncan's party.)

Where the Sam Hill is the discipline in the Shadow Cabinet if they can't do better than that?
