He was an MP for Rushcliffe between 1970 and 2019
There are questions over the contaminated blood scandal that former health secretary Lord Ken Clarke needs to address, a Cabinet minister has said. It comes after the final report of the Infected Blood Inquiry accused Lord Clarke, who was an MP for Rushcliffe between 1970 and 2019, of “misleading” the public and attacked his “combative style” when he gave oral evidence to the probe.
"There are recommendations over and above compensation that the report makes and, of course, the Government will look very closely at those recommendations and have more to say in due course." He told LBC: "Sir Brian has come forward with some very strong observations of Ken, in the context of the scandal.
"Now we have the conclusions of the Infected Blood Inquiry report, I think our letter was well-timed and entirely accurate. The way in which he gave his evidence was appalling."
