John Peel

Sir John Harold Peel, (10 December 10 1904 - 31 December 2005, aged 101) was Surgeon-Gynaecologist to the Queen from 1961 to 1973 and was present at a number of royal births.Sir John Peel, Obituaries, Daily Telegraph, 2 January 2006.
:Peel, the son of a clergyman, was born on December 10 1904 and educated at Manchester Grammar School, Queen's College, Oxford, and King's College Hospital Medical School in London. He qualified in 1930, and... two years later passed his membership examinations for the Royal College of Physicians.
:Peel became a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1944. In 1955 he became a member of its council, and in 1959 its honorary treasurer. In the latter role he was instrumental in raising funds to finance the College's expansion into its handsome premises in Regent's Park. In 1966 he became President of the RCOG, a job he performed with enthusiasm. His presidency concluded in 1969, but he remained a respected and influential presence for many years, and was elected to an honorary fellowship in 1989.
:...In 1967, during his tenure as President of the RCOG, Peel chaired the committee advising the government on the Bill, introduced by the Liberal MP David Steel, proposing to legalise the medical termination of pregnancy. The RCOG was closely involved with the Bill, and monitored its progress through Parliament until it became law as the 1967 Abortion Act.
==Moral conservative activist==
Peel was a supporter of Family and Youth Concern. According to an obituary in the Telegraph:
:In the 1980s, as sponsor of the Responsible Society, Peel accused two government departments - Education, and Health and Social Security - of encouraging girls under 16 to have sexual intercourse.
:"Young girls," he wrote in a booklet, "are the victims of exploitation by unscrupulous adults, by misleading information in popular teenage magazines; by pernicious theories from some 'trendy' experts; all leading to the glorification of sex for physical satisfaction alone." He also had strong reservations about research on human embryos.Sir John Peel, Obituaries, Daily Telegraph, 2 January 2006.

John Profumo

John Dennis Profumo (30 January 1915 - 9 March 2006) was a Conservative politician best known for being forced to resign as Minister for War as a result of a 1963 scandal involving a prostitute.
==Broadcasting and the BBC==
In 1947 Profumo joined the Conservative Central Office as the party's first head of broadcasting. There he set up a unit to monitor supposed left-wing bias at the BBC. He was also one of a group of Conservative backbenchers who campaigned to end the monopoly of the BBC and paved the way for the creation of ITV in 1955. Obituaries: John Profumo. Secretary of State for War sensationally forced out of politics after lying to the House of Commons', Independent, 11 March 2006
Profumo was instructed to set up the BBC monitoring unit by Winston Churchill, who according to Profumo was convinced that the BBC was ‘honeycombed with communists’. Michael Cockerell, 'Broadcasters caught in crossfire of politics', Manchester Guardian Weekly, 2 April 1995 (It should be noted however that according to MI5's official historian, Churchill privately believed that communist influence in the BBC was 'very slight' and did not 'constitute a serious security danger.' Duncan Gardham, 'BBC wanted more vetting from MI5', Daily Telegraph, 28 May 2010/) Profumo told the author and journalist Michael Cockerell:
I wanted to keep an eye on left-wing bias at the BBC. I couldn’t think how we could do it. Whenever we wrote to Haley, the Director-General, he would say that we should look not just at one programme but at the whole lot. I decided to put an advertisement in the Daily Telegraph saying I was looking for long-term patients in hospital who had a radio – or if they didn’t, we would give them one. When people replied, we asked if they would agree for a small payment to listen to the programmes we chose and then write to a box number. We appointed six monitors. And each week we would have a monitoring conference at Conservative Central Office on the day the Radio Times was published and we would select the programmes to be monitored. We would say, “That chap looks left-wing” and we wanted to see whether his broadcasts were biased. I still remember one programme – about tapestries, of all things, and the commentary said something like: “To think these tapestries hang on the walls of the rich, yet they were woven in the hovels of humble peasants”. I suppose creative young people are left-wing. But as a result of our efforts we made a great deal of headway with the BBC – it had its effect.
