Baroness Trumpington Desert Island Discs: Archive 1986-1991
-
- Personal Journals
The castaway in this week's Desert Island Discs rejoices in the title of the Baroness Trumpington of Sandwich in the County of Kent.
A tireless campaigner on myriad issues, she brings to her work a commodity which is often in short supply in political life - a healthy sense of humour. Among other things, she'll be talking to Sue Lawley about her career, during which she has risen from being Mayor of Cambridge to Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food - all without taking a single exam.

Favourite track: I'll Follow My Secret Heart by Noel Coward
Book: George V by Kenneth Rose
Luxury: Crown jewels (so someone will look for her)
