Here’s your starter for ten in our weekend slot where we throw up an idea or thought for debate…
During the week Foreign Secretary William Hague talked of having a network of diplomats who are past their retirement age of 60 but can be called on to help out at times of international crisis. However Labour MP Frank Roy attacked the idea saying that the Foreign Office instead should be “nurturing young talent”.
What’s your view on this and more generally – should we do more to keep on the skills of people beyond 60, or should people be promptly moved out of the way so as to make way for younger people?
