"That was no less personage than the Minister of the Interior, the new Minister of the Interior and what they call a very new broom"
The Minister of the Interior, or the Minister of the Inferior as he is mockingly called by Alex is the govement member responsible for Alex's selection for the Ludovico Technique. He supports the work of Dr. Brodsky with the intention of clearing prison space for political prisons and calling the current prison as 'outmoded'; planning to deal with criminality from a curative standpoint, believing that the prisoners enjoy their punishment noting Alex murder of another prisoner as evidence for the need for innovation.
