If we issue a statement, we'll just look foolish. Hacker: Which should be it? Sir Humphrey: Well, if we do nothing, that means we implicitly agree with the speech. Two: issue a statement deploring the speech. Jim Hacker: Humphrey, do you think it is a good idea to issue a statement? Sir Humphrey: Well, Minister, in practical terms we have the usual six options. Episode Two: The Official Visit Jim Hacker: What's the difference? Bernard: Well, "under consideration" means "we've lost the file" "under active consideration" means "we're trying to find it".

Hacker: Can they all type? Sir Humphrey: None of us can type. Directly responsible to the Principal Private Secretaries are plain Private Secretaries, and the Prime Minister will be appointing two Parliamentary Under-Secretaries and you will be appointing your own Parliamentary Private Secretary. Directly responsible to me are ten Deputy Secretaries, 87 Under Secretaries and 219 Assistant Secretaries. I too have a Principal Private Secretary and he is the Principal Private Secretary to the Permanent Secretary. Woolley here is your Principal Private Secretary. Hacker: Who else is in this department? Sir Humphrey: Well briefly, sir, I am the Permanent Under Secretary of State, known as the Permanent Secretary. Bernard Woolley: It used to be said there were two kinds of chairs to go with two kinds of Minister: one sort folds up instantly the other sort goes round and round in circles.
