Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Legislative Framework Underpinning the State's Response

Lord Sumption:

Of course I do. However, it must be remembered that sometimes a person will make a decision for perfectly responsible and morally defensible grounds which other people, who are much less careful about what they are doing, will take advantage of. I do not believe that is a sufficient reason for keeping silent about what I and many other people regard as a moral and constitutional outrage. Sometimes, in the interests of truth and honesty, one must put up with the fact that many unpleasant people might agree with one.
