The most common phrases in the Government’s impact assessment are: “not known” 26 times; and “unknown” eight times. It is left to The Times to ferret out the information that Ministers are thinking of outsourcing ending the lives of the terminally ill to private contractors on a for-profit basis. The hon. Member for East Renfrewshire (Blair McDougall) who spoke before me referenced Nye Bevan. I can hear Nye spinning in his grave at the thought of that.
