Proceeding contribution from Ian Gibson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.
Department of Health
Is the hon. Gentleman aware that a Sheffield university lecturer was sacked because, although he was not quite a whistleblower, he queried a decision? He began some work, the results of which were sent to Proctor and Gamble. He queried the company’s decision to allow a drug on to the market, and he was sacked. Is that ethical and is it good practice, or is it a one-off event?
