Force of habit. It's easier to vote as you did before rather than think..

madf,
And don't forget Lord Deben, chair of the Committee on Climate Change (CCC).
"Lord Deben is chairman of 'Forewind', an offshore wind company which is seeking to build one of the largest ever wind farms covering an area half the size of Wales. (Dogger Bank?)
He is also Chairman and shareholder in 'Sancroft International Ltd' which warns of the disasters that will result due to climate change and how its clients can benefit from changing policies.
His involvement with 'Valpack Ltd' (environmental solutions) has also been called into question. Valpack deals in, among other things, carbon services.
It is not surprising, therefore, that 'Friends of the Earth' described Deben as "the best Environment Secretary we've ever had".

I think he also had interests in companies seeking to build the Severn Barrage.

I thought Lord Deben looked familiar. The former John (Selwyn) Gummer?
Is this green committee/green enterprise conflict a Suffolk thing?

Depends on how you carry your 'h's Phil. eg: An 'otel or A hotel

Intrusive aitches are even more fun. A friend once asked a lady, unknown to him, what substance to use for some purpose I forget. The lady replied instantly: 'Orsehoil.'
'What?' he asked in some alarm.
Turned out she was suggesting some sort of oil used on horses. Hoof polish perhaps.

The ones that crease me are those who drop aitches but then recycle them.
Wer used to have a regular caller at work, a Mr Owen, whose calls would be along the lines of:
allo, is that the hinquiry desk? This is Arry Howen, my central eating has packed up and I need a hengineer hurgently!!
