Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Health and Education.
Health and Education
On the subject of platitudinous Labour soundbites, perhaps my hon. Friend recollects a vintage example of the genre—the 1999 pledge by the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, that within the following two years everyone would once again be able to see an NHS dentist just by phoning NHS Direct. Does my hon. Friend share my concern that since then 1.2 million of our fellow countrymen and women have lost access to NHS dentistry, including many thousands in my constituency and his?
