| | I fetched suicide tablets for Stephen Ward, says MP |
 | | AN MP has revealed that it was he, as a boy, who fetched the sleeping pills that Stephen Ward, the osteopath at the centre of the Profumo scandal, used to commit suicide. |
 | | As a 15-year-old, Stephen Pound, now Labour MP for Ealing North, helped his father, Pelham Pound, a former News of the World journalist, by running errands during Ward's trial at the Old Bailey in 1963, he said yesterday. |
 | | Mr Pound, who became an MP at the last election, ascribed his interest in politics partly to his experience in the Ward case. |
