	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Lord Sainsbury quits as minister
		Lord Sainsbury told the BBC he would not be returning to work for the supermarket.

	Guardian \| Lord Sainsbury expected to quit DTI
		There is a growing expectation that Lord Sainsbury, the Labour peer and patriarch of the supermarket group, is preparing to quit his controversial position as science and innovation minister at the next general election in order to put more of his time into trying to rebuild the troubled family business.
		Lord Sainsbury's frustrations, stemming from the fact that his direct 13% shareholding remains locked up in a blind trust, could also encourage outsiders to launch a takeover bid for the chain, which is facing a fresh competitive squeeze after Morrisons' recent acquisition of rival Safeway.
		Lord Sainsbury's chairmanship of the company was not a runaway success and a new management regime has just been put in place, with Sir Peter Davies moving up to become chairman on March 29 and Justin King, the former Marks and Spencer head of foods, replacing Sir Peter as chief executive.

	SPEAK - Profile of Lord David Sainsbury of Turdville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Sainsbury is the key to why this government is so determined not only to build the primate laboratory, but also to impose GM crops and food products on the population, despite huge public opposition in both cases.
		Sainsbury has the final say on who is appointed to this quango, called the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), which has spent more than £18m on research into GM-related crops.
		Sainsbury's influence is now complete, as the government has hijacked the democratic and planning process, and will issue a decree on the matter at a time of their choosing.

		Lord Sainsbury may have convinced him that the Observer was in danger of getting its facts in a serious muddle, even of risking legal action, and Lord Gavron may have seen himself in the role of the admiral of the fleet who wants to reassure himself that the captain has everything under control.

	Letter from Lord Sainsbury on Software Patents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		It is unclear from this sentence whether Sainsbury thinks that his correspondents regards copyright or patents as a potential hindrance of the internet, oss and the software "industry".
		Sainsbury asserts that patents have not hurt free software, the software sector in general, or the expansion of the internet so far, because the sector is still growing.
		Perhaps Lord Sainsbury should influence the Council of Ministers to make sure that the remaining steps produce a directive that is in the public interest, rather than passively accepting the advice of the Patent Office.

		Such is Lord Sainsbury's wealth that he is said to make £35m a year from bank interest alone, though Gordon Brown's low interest rates may have reduced that figure.
