The VRC
accepts the ‘Principles for engagement between
Government and its Independent Scientific Advisers’
Independent
scientific advice is important to the Government. To try
to ensure it has the best possible advice, there must be
an effective relationship between Ministers and the
independent experts that advise them.
Lord Drayson,
the then Minister for Science and Innovation and sir
John Beddington
the Government’s chief scientific advisor published the
principles on 24 March 2010 following consultation. The VRC considered them
at its meeting on 23 June 201. It thinks that they set
out a workable framework for engagement between
Government and its Independent Scientific Advisers.
The papers and minutes of the
VRC meeting held on 10 March
2010
are now available on the website.
The minutes
of the VRC meeting held on 2 December are now
