I am not ashamed to say I have no idea who Lord Newton is (or was...?). I was three in 1974, and have no recollection of anything he did. But then how many politicians are remembered after 5 years, never mind 20, even by those with more than a passing interest in politics?
I think it’s quite telling that because the Government and civil service have been almost completely occupied with BREXIT over the last 3 years they’ve had little time for any other government activity. But the country has carried on quite happily...less is almost always more when it comes to government :)
