Viscount Hailsham, Q.C. Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science with John Freeman Editor, New Statesman.

"Sing a song of particles infinitely small, Tissue-cultured specimens from off your stomach wall, Endocrine secretions from the ductless gland, Amino-nuclear acid chains, dancing hand-in-hand." Daily Herald
"I regard myself as a midwife to the scientists." Daily Telegraph
"I get hay fever for about six weeks every summer. I've taken lots of stuff for it. Drugs galore. But I still get it. Swimming in the sea is the only thing that appears to clear it up." Daily Mail
"Any return to the religion of my fathers was slow and undramatic. No sudden light blinded me on the road to Damascus. No voice from Heaven reproved me for my infidelity." Sunday Express
"We are here to promote not ourselves, not material goods, but a civilisation - a civilisation that could be destroyed now in a few days, but which has taken seven thousand years to build. We did not build it, but we are its heirs. It is our duty to pass it on, to extend its spiritual frontiers." The Guardian
"I personally believe that hereditary titles, other than for the Royal Family, are an obsolete institution at the present day." News of the World
