Just days after resigning from Revenue and Customs over the child benefits data loss fiasco, Gray is now working at the cabinet office.

When the top man running Revenue and Customs resigned over the catastrophic loss of two data discs containing millions of names, there was considerable praise.

Paul Gray seemed to have done something that all too many other people in public life fail to do. He had taken responsibility and paid the price.

Some also felt that his resignation offered some protection to the Chancellor Alistair Darling. But now we learn Mr Gray's 'exile' from civil service activity lasted precisely thirteen days.

Today this programme has discovered he's back working for his old treasury boss, Sir Gus O'Donnell at the cabinet office - on projects to "develop Civil servants skills".
