	Odgers Ray & Berndtson - International Executive Search Firm - Virginia Bottomley Interview
		Bottomley does not play the conventional politician's game and this is a contributory factor in her decision to stand down at the next election.
		But Bottomley is honest enough to admit that while she is still full of energy - at 54 she is a perfect embodiment of the generation of youthful post-50-year-olds identified by the Social Issues Research Centre last week - she has lost her hunger for parliamentary politics.
		Bottomley herself, once a researcher for the Child Poverty Action Group, is a former magistrate and chairman of the Lambeth juvenile court.

		VIRGINIA BOTTOMLEY MP: Well we always want to encourage independence and nothing does that better than having an economy where jobs are growing, we're seeing unemployment falling and the one thing people want on benefit is to find jobs, we're being singularly successful there, one of only two European countries that are seeing unemployment falling.
		BOTTOMLEY: And there are no plans to somehow discourage people from using the NHS by promoting the private option, albeit many people will decide to have private health insurance, we have a very low base at the moment, but that is not part of an agenda to direct them in that way.
		BOTTOMLEY: They may not impress the 'chattering classes' also, but if you knock on the doors in the streets of this country, people are concerned about truancy and that's why the truancy is so important; they are very worried about law and order and that's why Michael Howard's work is so very important...

	Society \| An odd couple
		Mrs Bottomley, from grander metropolitan stock, was on the "wet" wing of the Tory party, an NHS enthusiast who had been sent by John Major to rescue it from the loonier privatisation fantasies of the free-market right.
		Mrs Bottomley also had a problem with the trust chairmen, some of whose public policy suggestions, such as floating Guy's hospital trust on the stock market and sending mock "invoices" to patients who fail to turn up for appointments, were proving embarrassing to the post-Thatcher government.
		Mrs Bottomley would later admit that Mr Hunt was "critically involved" in the implementation of the Tory internal market reforms, and that she felt "so comfortable" with him that at one stage she considered offering him a job as her political adviser.

		While attending a Christmas party, Virginia Bottomley reportedly chatted to one Cherri Gilham under the impression that she was addressing the almost synonymous Cheryl Gillan.
		But we shall let that pass - particularly since Bottomley's four-point clean-up agenda (new codes of practice to curb violence; warnings on programme content; a campaign to educate parents and a move towards installing a V-chip censor device in every new TV set) has been endorsed by the major broadcasters and regulatory bodies.
		The risk, in Bottomley's eyes, is that children become inured to sex and violence.
