		DORRELL: Well the jargon got in the way of an understanding of what it was we were seeking to do, which is to ensure a bigger voice for a parent in choosing what type of school their child goes to.
		DORRELL: But anybody knows that there is a choice for a traveller whether to use the railway, and what's actually happening is that as the services are being improved the prospect is being created of bringing people back to the railways in competition with buses and cars and other forms of transport.
		DORRELL: No, it's actually motivated by exactly the thing we were discussing a few moments ago, which is the commitment to focus state activity on the thing which is unavoidably, in my view in a modern world, something that we need to engage the taxpayer in and that is health, education services.

		DORRELL: I'm sorry, if you were one of the half a million people who were on the unemployment register, nearly half a million, and they're now no longer on the unemployment register, you will feel better.
		DORRELL: One and a half per cent from the lowest level since the early 1970s, still very low interest rates by comparison with the average we've seen in recent years.
		DORRELL: Except that there's the perception of division on the European issue, I don't believe that on the great majority of what we're about, we are at all divided.

	Dorrell sparks Tory feud over leadership
		TORY feuding over the future leadership of the party intensified yesterday after an attempt by Stephen Dorrell to shift the Government's position on Europe was attacked as an "open pitch" to succeed John Major.
		The criticism came after it was revealed that Mr Dorrell was urging the Prime Minister to renegotiate the relationship with the EU and promote a "massive shake-up" of its institutions and structure.
		Mr Dorrell has emerged as a key member of a group of centrist Cabinet ministers who want to rule out early entry into a single currency and are becoming increasingly sceptical about Europe.

	Dorrell to quit shadow cabinet
		STEPHEN Dorrell, the former health secretary and Tory leadership challenger, is to stand down from the shadow cabinet to concentrate on mapping out an alternative vision for the future of Conservatism.
		Although Mr Dorrell has not been a success in his post, his departure will cause problems for Mr Hague as he is regarded as the leading Left-winger in the shadow cabinet.
		Mr Dorrell was known to be extremely dubious about Mr Hague's leadership qualifications and has been privately critical of his policy on Europe, especially the decision to rule out membership of a single currency at the next election.

	House of Commons - Standards and Privileges - Sixteenth Report
		In a subsequent letter of 23 April, Mr MacShane further alleged that Mr Dorrell had failed to declare the interest in his speech to move the Motion on 6 April; and supplied the evidence on which he relied for his assertion that the company concerned did not recognise trade unions.
		By attaching his name to the Motion and in his speech, Mr Dorrell made it clear that he was supporting a policy which provided no compulsory recognition of trade unions or, failing that, a policy under which compulsory recognition would only apply if it had the support of 50 per cent of the total workforce.
		Mr Dorrell should not have attached his name to the Motion, and should not have opened the debate, while still retaining his interest in the company.

	December 1998 Mad Cow News
		During Mr Dorrell's time in office major developments in the crisis included the development of CJD in a fourth dairy farmer raising fears that BSE could be passed on from cattle to man and the discovery of failures in slaughterhouses to remove spinal cord.
		Dorrell told the long-running inquiry that ministers had assumed abattoirs were obeying instructions introduced in 1989 to remove specified material, including the spinal cord, from cattle carcases before selling them to butchers.
		Phillips told Dorrell that when the abattoir regulations were first introduced, they were said to be "ultra-precautionary." "As time went by, those who knew about the subject attached increasing importance to these regulations as evidence raised question marks over the thesis that this is not transmissible," Phillips said.

		Dorrell also confirmed his personal view that abortion should be restricted but made it clear he was speaking as Secretary of State in the Bennett case.
		This was a clear warning to the rightists that the state would not support an attempt to prosecute Bennett for conducting an illegal abortion.
		In my opinion the official statements from Dorrell are a gain for woman's rights and the working class in Britain.

	Britain Ties Deadly Brain Disease to Cow Ailment
		Apparently mindful of an ever-widening scare among British consumers that British beef may be unsafe, Health Secretary Stephen Dorrell said there was "no scientific proof" that the disease in cows, which is formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, can be transmitted to humans through beef.
		Dorrell gave no details other than to say that the unit had examined 10 new cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
		Dorrell said it was believed that the 10 new patients had contracted Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease through exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy before 1989.

	Clarke caught in Cabinet pincers
		Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, and Malcolm Rifkind, the Foreign Secretary, both Euro-sceptics, insisted that Stephen Dorrell, the Health Secretary, previously viewed as a pro-European, had not broken Cabinet ranks when he urged Britain to renegotiate its relationship with the EU.
		Mr Dorrell's call for a huge shake-up of the EU structures and institutions has prompted speculation that John Major is poised to adopt a harder attitude to Brussels and that the Health Secretary has been acting as his cover.
		Stephen Dorrell re-emphasised that over the last couple of days and I'm delighted that he did so".

		Michael Portillo has won the backing of former health secretary Stephen Dorrell in his bid for the Tory leadership.
		Mr Dorrell is a key figure on the left of the party and his support for Mr Portillo will be a boost for the shadow chancellor's claim to be able to unite the divided wings of the Conservative Party.
		Mr Dorrell's backing gives further impetus to the Portillo campaign, which has already established an operational headquarters in Westminster and gained the support of two thirds of the shadow cabinet plus a growing number of backbench MPs.

	BBC News \| UK \| Ministers 'misled' public on BSE
		Former health secretary, Stephen Dorrell, has expressed regret over statements he made relating to the safety of British beef during the BSE crisis.
		Mr Dorrell - who was one of the ministers criticised in the BSE inquiry report - told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he has made a mistake when he said there was "no conceivable risk from beef".
		It was not until March 1996 that Mr Dorrell told the Commons a new strain of CJD had emerged, probably linked to consumption of infected beef.

	BSE warning was poor, says Dorrell
		THE Tory government's advice to the public that beef was "safe" could have been clearer, Stephen Dorrell, the former Conservative Health Secretary, admitted at the BSE inquiry yesterday.
		Ministers and officials insisted that the meat was safe until Mr Dorrell announced possible links between a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and BSE-infected meat in March 1996.
		Sir Nicholas Phillips, the inquiry chairman, said that, until then, people may have believed that they could not be infected with BSE and the apparent U-turn was the main reason behind the public hysteria which greeted the announcement.

	Guardian \| Dorrell says he regrets giving 'no risk' advice
		Stephen Dorrell, health secretary when human vulnerability to the BSE crisis was finally confirmed in 1996, yesterday became the first Conservative minister to express regret for mistaken assurances he had given beforehand.
		Months before the link between BSE and human vCJD was admitted, when ministers were still trying to sustain confidence in the beef industry, Mr Dorrell had said there was "no conceivable risk" from eating British beef.
		As the contrite Mr Dorrell surfaced on Radio 4's Today programme, ministers signalled their determination to use Lord Phillips's report on the BSE crisis to create a far more open climate for "mature debate" on policy options and scientific advice in Whitehall.

		One Lilley aide said: "We are disappointed but Stephen has gone back to his roots." Mr Dorrell said that, when visiting activists, he had been surprised by the support for Mr Clarke.

	Major stands fast on 'wait and see' policy over euro
		He dismissed as "wish fulfilment" the notion that the balance of Cabinet opinion had shifted decisively towards a more sceptic stance after the disclosure in The Telegraph that Stephen Dorrell, the Health Secretary, was pressing for a renegotiation of the treaty with Europe.
		His comments came as John Redwood, a former leadership challenger, renewed his call on Mr Major to rule out British membership of a single currency and said the Prime Minister should call the bluff of Kenneth Clarke, the Chancellor, who has threatened to resign if the policy is changed.
		Mr Major said it was clearly true that the EU could not operate in the same way with 26 members in 10 years' time as it had when it had only six.

	Dorrell plans to privatise care for elderly
		Mr Dorrell has been fuelled in this aim by a recent survey he commissioned, which showed that local authority homes were more expensive than those in the private sector.
		Mr Dorrell's eventual aim is for all council-owned homes to be sold, with social services departments buying care places in privately run establishments.
		He is expected to confirm that he has secured Treasury backing for a more generous version of his scheme for the elderly to protect their assets by taking out insurance schemes against the cost of long-term care.

	SCOTTISH NATIONAL PARTY - ALEX SALMOND MP
		Dorrell, who's portfolio is the Ministry for Health, was given a brief for the constitution last summer but his opinions in The Scotsman and the subsequent interviews on his 'gaffe' showed he is out of his depth when it comes to Scottish politics.
		Dorrell directly contradicted Scottish Secretary Michael Forsyth who has famously said a Scottish Assembly isn't "just for Christmas", it is forever, but appeared to be supported by Welsh Secretary William Hague who soon let it be known that he also favours scrapping a future Scottish - and Welsh -parliament.
		But sidelining Dorrell for giving the game away will not undo the damage that has been done to what little remains of Tory support north of the Border.

		When Health Secretary Stephen Dorrell addressed the British House of Commons on March 20, 1996, he was ashen-faced for good reason.
		Like numerous other government representatives, for years Dorrell had been reassuring the nervous British public that the beef in their hamburgers, kidney pies and Sunday roasts was as safe and sound as the Pound sterling.
		Dorrell had also steadfastly insisted that no connection existed between any human illness and Mad Cow Disease, the incurable dementia that has killed 160,000 British cows since 1985.
