	Stephen Byers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Byers was swiftly appointed to Shadow ministerial posts and became the Minister for School Standards in 1997.
		In May it was confirmed by the Department that Byers had announced Sixsmith's resignation prematurely, though the Government said that this was due to a misunderstanding, and he had done nothing wrong.
		This would have required the shareholders to establish that Byers had been motivated by a deliberate desire to injure them, and the Judge found that his motive was to improve railway organisation.

	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Stephen Byers quits government
		Transport Secretary Stephen Byers has quit his job, saying it was "the right thing to do for the Labour Party and the government".
		Mr Byers has been under fire for months, initially for standing by spin doctor Jo Moore after she sent an email on 11 September saying it was a good day "to bury" bad news.

	Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire !
		With Stephen Byers facing down calls from the opposition to resign after having been found to be lying to the House of Commons, and Tony Blair saying he has his complete support, one must wonder what's happened to New Labour's promise to wipe away all vestiges of sleaze from the government.
		Byers later appeared in the Commons where he said there had been a concerted attempt by a small number of civil servants in the press office to undermine his department.
		Byers appears to be intent on denying that he mislead the House, but admits that he may have made statements which were not based upon correct information.

	Telegraph \| News \| I did lie over Railtrack but can't remember why, says Byers
		Stephen Byers, the former transport secretary, admitted yesterday that he had lied to MPs.
		Mr Byers said sometimes such answers could be given "in a way which would allow the question to move on to other issues but not to conceal any conspiracy or plot".
		The shareholders allege that Mr Byers used "targeted malice" to seize their company and Mr Rowley has said the former Cabinet minister's "credibility" is at the centre of the case.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Special Reports \| My mistakes: Byers ends the agony with a final touch of spin
		Stephen Byers last night blamed a lethal combination of mishandled spin doctors and vengeful Railtrack shareholders in the City for the campaign that finally pushed him out of Tony Blair's cabinet.
		Mr Byers told the Guardian that the decision had been coming for some weeks as he sensed that it would be impos sible to take effective decisions, not least on the revised transport plan, due in July.
		But the Tories and Mr Byers' critics among travel groups will be infuriated by what they see as a reluctance to admit that transport policy is Labour's key failure for which he - as well as John Prescott - is to blame.

		Byers' departure deprives opposition politicians of a frequent target in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Tony Blair, but it offers Blair the hope of getting free of a problem that has dogged his government since last autumn.
		Byers' trouble began last year, after aide Jo Moore sent out an e-mail hours after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks advising colleagues it was a good day to "bury" bad news.
		Byers was criticized for failing to fire her.

	Lee Jasper responds to Stephen Byers' comments on asylum
		When former cabinet minister Stephen Byers addressed the Social Market Foundation stating asylum and immigration ‘is one of the most important issues facing our country’, he pandered to the agenda being set by the neo-Nazi BNP.

		BYERS: That's the best way of ensuring that people come out of poverty, and also that they are included because work is a great way of feeling that you are part of society and that you are both paying your way and making a valuable contribution.
		BYERS: Well, the first point to make John is that there will be situations when children do need to be excluded if they're acting in a way which puts at risk the quality of education being received by the other children in school.
