		Sailing, Wakeham's lifelong passion only recently given up because he feels he's no longer nimble enough, is itself the ultimate negotiation between man and the elements, where your very life can depend on an accurate assessment of external factors and their influence on your chosen course.
		Wakeham, whose hero, oddly, is the uncompromising Admiral Nelson, now awaits judgment on what could be the most enduring of deals he has ever worked on, the future of the House of Lords.

	Guardian \| Enron fallout threatens Wakeham
		Lord Wakeham, the former Conservative energy secretary entrusted by Lady Thatcher to privatise the British electricity industry, gave the now collapsing US energy giant, Enron, its first £700m contract to build the UK's biggest private gas fired power station.
		In 1990, Lord Wakeham helped Enron develop the new Teesside power station - which supplies 3% of UK needs - by giving financial concessions to four then state-owned electricity boards which went into partnership with Enron to build the station months before they were floated on the stock market.
		Lord Wakeham could also face questioning over whether he was asked to do any lobbying for Enron when it faced a moratorium from Labour on gas fired stations, preventing it from getting new business.

	About the PCC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		John Wakeham was Chairman of the Commission for just over seven remarkably successful years, until he retired in the spring of 2002.
		Second, John renewed the authority and independence of the Commission at an extremely perilous time - back in 1994/5 - when many were clamouring for its overhaul or closure.
		And because of the manner in which John renewed the authority of the Commission in the industry,editors today - indeed a whole new generation of journalists - treat the Code, and the jurisdiction of the Commission, with the utmost seriousness.

		Wakeham was left mouthing platitudes and the self-same racing toffs who had picked him denounced his "betrayal" of their class and economic interest.
		Racing may be stuck with Wakeham for the next two years but owners, trainers and breeders are looking afresh at the leading personalities on both sides of the House, and asking which of them might be most sympathetic to the Turf in future.
		Wyatt is a sort of John Wakeham times ten, and few impartial observers believe his longevity has been due to anything other than his chummy relationships with Conservative politicians.
