"It seems unsatisfactory to define poverty solely by reference to average incomes because if that were the true position, Labour Members could eliminate poverty completely--if they were able to do so--by expropriating all incomes of, say, 50 per cent. of average incomes or above. That would make for a tremendous reduction in poverty, according to the definition of Opposition Members, but nobody would be any happier or better off. It might please those with egalitarian passions, but it would not add anything to the good of the country."

—  HC Deb, 19 December 1991 c527

His specialist area of advocacy is planning law and he was called to the Bar in 1960; he was appointed Queens Counsel in 1981. [5] [6] In 2015 he practised from his home address in Fulham. [5]
