George Pitcher has written this article in the Telegraph which makes a very salient point. The Liberal Democrat party gave Evan Harris a platform for his own cause. He was not 'political' and I don't believe I ever heard him mention his constituency once in the chamber.

He was known as 'Dr Death' by most MPs and journalists, so zealous was his attitude towards abortion and euthanasia.
