[Bell Historians] was More Telegraph letters, now DBA's

[Mark Regan]

A quick response.

 

The exemption is very important. Give planning control to EH and councils
you enter the world of politics and personal opinion becoming 'policy'.

 

The Church process allows everyone to contribute and a legal expert decides
on the evidence. It may not be perfect - it's better than politics and the
whims of EH advisors.

 

I was appointed to the DAC in an open process. The job was advertised and I
was interviewed by a panel of six people. 

 

I've called for all DAC appointments to be 'open' and this is now happening.
Please don't confuse ecclesiastical exemption with smoke filled rooms. It
isn't true any more and I've been very critical of it all in the past. 

 

I hope this has led to much needed changes.

..often based on the views of advisers who are appointed in a highly opaque
manner and may or may not be suitable for the job...

I would be most interest to know why David has such a jaundiced view on
bells advisors. 

It is true that there are many different standards amongst them in how they
go about their jobs, what they regard as their brief and so on but I'll bet
that everyone of them thinks they are doing a good job, whatever the rest of
the of the ringing fraternity may think about them. So HOW would you go
about appraising DBA's?
