Description

Tim Montgomerie is joined by Hugo Rifkind, Alice Thomson and Libby Purves.Hugo Rifkind says it's not the fault of the NHS or the Government that a pioneering programme to create a shared database of patient information has been suspended. It's ours. Are we too shrill when it comes to personal data?Alice Thomson suggests that we need to teach girls to be more robust and to realise that A* grades don't necessarily define them. Mary Beard, Angela Merkel, Clare Balding - are these the role models we should be encouraging?Libby Purves tackles London's rising, and often unaffordable property prices, head on. Should the Government do more to discourage foreign investors using the capital as their own private 'piggy bank'? "There are sharper things they could do, but they're all flirt!"
