Defra Ministerial Team Caroline Spelman Secretary of State Jim Paice Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Richard Benyon Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Natural environment and Fisheries Lord Henley Parliamentary under-secretary Ministerial Team
The Defra way of working To ensure that we are able to deliver the priorities that Ministers set for us, we need to allocate our resources - people and money - to the activities we have agreed to carry out, and to organise ourselves to deliver those activities effectively. We have therefore moved from an old, inflexible structure of Directorates and Divisions towards a model where most of our work across all areas is being delivered through programmes and projects. Specifically, we have reorganised our activities into a portfolio structure consisting of Board and Group programmes, projects and ongoing functions. Working in this way will enable us to be more efficient, as we will be able to ensure priority work is properly resourced and funded in delivering Defra's strategic objectives Ministerial Team
