Billet doux

Here's another FOI disclosure, from a request asking for recent correspondence between the BBC and politicians (excluding complaints).

This is an extract from a letter written by Jeremy Hunt, thanking Mark Thompson for inviting him to the Last Night of The Proms. At that stage, Jezzer had just been moved from the DCMS to Health, and was in reflective mood about his greatest achievement - the licence fee deal thrashed out with Thommo essentially over a long weekend. He talks about it being made possible through trust and openness between them. There are those who regret the process wasn't truly open.
