Tory MP Mark Simmonds was recently caught failing to declare his interest in private health provider Circle when he spoke in favour of the health service 'reforms' in a debate in the Commons. He is employed as a 'strategic adviser' to the company for which he is paid £50K a year.
Now, either Mr Simmonds forgot because he is so vastly wealthy that a mere trifle of £50K failed to register as significant enough to mention or he 'forgot' in the same way that the Tories 'forgot' to put massive top-down NHS reorganisation into their manifesto - a selective forgetting that makes me believe that privatisation - and the greater involvement of Mr Simmonds mates at Circle - is the real agenda for 'reform'.
