Adam Pike asks Sir Michael Barber what he's most proud of from his time running the delivery unit. He runs through the list. The NHS hitting its 18-week waiting time targets for the first time in history. A 30% reduction in crime. And then the Channel Tunnel where he spent a night watching people climb onto freight trains, went back to Blair and told him the fence around the goods yard in northern France was about the same quality as the ones around the tennis courts in Islington. Blair knew exactly what that meant. The fence got built. The problem stopped. Just like that. Listen to the full conversation below for the bigger picture, and to hear what else Michael is most proud of.
