Vital answers received at Westminster

I have just discovered that my local MP is steadfastly working on the vital issues of the moment.

With his keen eye for details and with his hand on the pulse of the Wirral West constituency he has launched a selfless campaign with written questions from the backbenches asking difficult and probing question to Ministers of the Crown!

I have copied three of these questions and the Minister answers below, but you can check them out for yourself at Hansard’s here!

On 27th March 2008 we had:-

Stephen Hesford: To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research he has evaluated on the effect of vegetarianism on well-being. [195620]

On 20th March we got :-
