A recent posting highlights concerns about the effectiveness of DEFRA, a small ministry by UK standards, in effecting policy internally as well as externally, especially in Europe.
"MPs are concerned that the hollowing out of Defra has left the core
Department less effective in persuading decision-makers in other
government departments and Brussels to follow its agenda. Firm
Ministerial leadership and sufficient in-house expertise is needed at
the heart of Defra to ensure it can deliver its priorities effectively."
