That absolutely does not excuse it, though.
Minister for Transport Ernest Marples was a majority shareholder in a road building firm.
This was in a period when there were severe closures on the railway network and new roads and motorways were being planned and built. Guess whose company built them?
Apparently he also owed a great deal of tax and did a midnight flit overseas with his money.
