Hoon moves back to Government, Mandy moves back to the UK

Geoffrey Hoon - probably more famous as HM Government's Defense Chief is moving back into running things that fly by taking on the Transport Portfolio. He was the Brown Administration's Chief Whip.

At the same time Peter Mandelson - he of the diary and frequent embarrassment to Blair fame - moves back to the UK from the EC where he was European trade commissioner - his new role will be as secretary for business, enterprise and regulatory reform.
