Blair plans new social contract | Special Reports | Guardian Unlimited Politics.
A new contract between the state and the citizen setting out what individuals must do in return for quality services from hospitals, schools and the police is one of the key proposals emerging from a Downing Street initiated policy review.

Definitely stuffed...
