	David Willetts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David 'Two-Brains' Lindsay Willetts (born March 9, 1956) is the Conservative Member of Parliament for Havant, in the United Kingdom.
		It was during his period as a Cabinet Office minister that he became known as 'Two Brains' for his detailed presentation of the intricacies of the Scott Report.
		Despite the resignation, Willetts was able to return to the shadow front bench a few years later under opposition leader William Hague, initially serving in the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Education Secretary before becoming Shadow Social Security (later Shadow Work and Pensions) Secretary.

	FT.com / Your money - Lesson in saving rather than scrimping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		David Willetts, MP for Havant and shadow work and pensions minister, is both a pragmatist and intellectual (his nickname is “Two-brain”).
		Willetts is something of a philosopher at heart as well as a politician and an economist – a healthy hangover from his student days at Oxford where he graduated with a first in politics, philosophy and economics (PPE) before heading for the Treasury.
		Willetts’ model has much in common with the “401K” company schemes in the US, where a combination of anti-discrimination rules for executives and automatic enrolment for themain workforce helps to align the interests of employers with their staff.

		David Willetts - "Two brains Willetts", in newspaper shorthand - would doubtless disagree.
		Willetts says he realised that particular shortcoming in modern Conservative thought as a result of his own personal experience.
		In prescribing a period of fruitful meditation for his party, Willetts has repeatedly returned to an era of internal strife and crisis: the 1840s, when the party was torn apart by the conflict between the "Young Englandism" of Disraeli and the backwoods Toryism of Peel.

		Jon Sopel was joined by Professor Arie Kruglanski, one of the authors of the report, and the shadow cabinet member David Willetts.
		Mr Willetts, I wonder how different the professor's analysis is to what Teresa May said to your party conference last year when she said "we're perceived as the nasty party"?
		This gets to the heart of why this analysis is so pernicious, because what happens is that people dismiss points that you put forward because they assume about a motivation.

		Sam, I imagine a system like yours would be workable, but I interpreted David Willetts's reference to 'numerical marks' as meaning giving the universities the hard data relating to the numerical breakdown of a given candidate's grades.
		However, I have long admired David Willetts, and think he is doing a great job in Shadow Education, so lets keep things in perspective, poor guy's getting flogged a bit.
		It would be much easier to ascertain if standards were rising or falling (assuming of course that those marking the exams maintained their own standards!) and would protect the value of the higher grades.

	The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: Does David Willetts endorsement of David Davis mark a decisive moment in the ...
		In the early stages of the Tory leadership contest, Watlington urged David Davis - if he was serious about being the next leader of the Tory Party and then winning a general election - to bring David Willetts on board as a key member of his leadership team.
		It is understood that Mr Willetts faced considerable pressure from the Cameron team to back their man and it is likely that Mr Willetts will be the subject of accusations of betrayal.
		Mr Willetts is thought to have concerns that were Mr Cameron to be elected as Leader, this would reinforce the Tory image problem, namely that the party is based around patronage and privilege rather than aspiration and merit.
