Telegraph News Treasury chief to become head of Civil Service Gordon Brown's right-hand man at the Treasury, Gus O'Donnell, is to be promoted by Tony Blair to the post of Cabinet Secretary and head of the Home Civil Service if Labour wins the election. Government insiders said yesterday that Mr O'Donnell, who has been the permanent secretary at the Treasury since 2002 and is a former press secretary to John Major, was the perfect "non-partisan" figure to oversee a handover of power between Labour prime ministers at No 10. A few months ago, when relations between Mr Blair and Mr Brown were at their worst, some in Whitehall believed that the Prime Minister might resist appointing an official from the Treasury, his rival's power base, to Whitehall's most powerful and sought-after job. www.telegraph.co.uk /news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/05/05/ntreas05.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/05/05/ixhome.html   (1257 words)
