FT.com / Media - Clasper named senior ITV independent director.
Mike Clasper is chairman of HM Revenue & Customs.
Now he is to be senior independent director of ITV.
Dos this make sense?
Is it really possible to combine these roles?
Personally I doubt it.
Even though I have worked in more than one role at a time since I was 26 I have real problems with someone who should, I think, be a senior civil servant working for a major private sector broadcaster. Instinctively that creates conflicts of interest about which I have concern.

Why on earth does hmrc even need a chairman? Maybe it’s helpful that he has a private sector job so that he doesn’t try too hard to cling onto his public sector role that Darling or Osborne will soon remove.
