The last programme in this series about Britain in the 1990s
6: The Limits of Government
The Rt Hon John Biffen , MP, Leader of the House of Commons, has radical ideas about what the state should provide. Telecommunications, airlines, oil - even street cleaning - have all started going ' private' since he has been in the Cabinet. Free schooling and the NHS are already under scrutiny. What will be left-what should be left-by the 90s?
John Biffen 's ideas are questioned by Michael Meacher , mp, Paul Johnson , Dorothy Wedderburn , Principal of Bedford College.
