WESTMINSTER CONFIDENTIAL

William Crawley and guests debate the week's religious and ethical news and explore the world of culture and ideas. Including News.

We debate the limits of confidentiality after the head of the National Bullying Helpline controversially revealed that her staff had been contacted by workers in Number 10. A lawyer, a doctor and a priest explain the circumstances in which they might be prepared to break their silence. Britain's new prosecution guidelines on assisted suicide have produced almost as much controversy: are they a careful clarification of the law or a further assault on the dignity of human life? And the out-spoken American atheist P Z Myers is now famous for his anti-religious shock tactics -- we ask him why he is so passionately anti-God.
