Please see this link:

'This time it's personal: Welfare Reform and the personalisation agenda.'

Now please see the following Wikipedia link about Unum and the 'Controversy' section.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum

1) What's going on here?
2) Why is Mr Phillips there? Isn't it a conflict of interest for him to be present?
3) Why is a company with this sort of reputation being used in reform that affects vulnerable people?

Any more questions that I should ask?

I think you're right, Robert, but I would struggle to deal with my conscience in his shoes. It would be like having a rotting fish in my front pocket.
