Rt Hon Gillian Shephard MP
Sue Lawley's castaway is Secretary of State for Education and Employment Gillian Shephard.
The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, Gillian Shephard.
She'll be talking to Sue Lawley about the importance of her roots in rural Norfolk. Although she briefly left to go to Oxford, she was born and brought up in Norfolk and worked in local parliament there until her late 40s, when she entered Parliament to represent a Norfolk seat. She'll be discussing her own school days, and how they influence her perception of the quality of schools nowadays.
