The Conservative party have lodged a complaint with the BBC Trust, claiming that the two roles are 'totally incompatible' and in clear breach of the corporation's rules on political impartiality.
Treasury spokesman for the Liberal Democrats Lord Oakeshott has sided with the tories, claming: "Sir Alan Sugar can't have it both ways. If he's working for the Government he can't have a conflict of interest with his BBC TV programme or his multi-million pound property empire. He should give up both."
It is believed that Sir Alan refused an offer by Gordon Brown to become a Labour minister and instead opted for the role of enterprise tsar. He is also set to receive a peerage despite questions over why this is necessary when he is not to become a minister.
Should Sir Alan quit The Apprentice? Would you be happy or sad to see his departure? Who do would you like to see replace Sir Alan?








And why should Sir Alan be some sort of saviour?
There are many self made millionaires around such as Peter Jones,so why Sugar-couldn`t be anything to do with being the face of the Apprentice by any chance ,could it!
Can just see the posters-a take off of the old WW1 ones saying `your country needs you!`,but with Sir Alan saying instead `you`re hired!`.
On the other hand, if David Cameron was the Prime Minister he would have done the complete opposite and left people to fend for themselves.
I for one have not forgotten the Thatcher years and let's face it, it is the same old Tories running the show behind the scenes all pretending to be united.
Does anyone remember the schools with buckets in the class rooms to catch the rain water coming in through leaking roofs because the education authorities were not provided with sufficient funding and also the times when interest rates were running at around 15%?
