§ 21. Mr. Dalyellasked the Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science whether he will take steps to keep members of scientific committees reporting to him informed as 200 to what action has resulted from their reports until two years after such committees have signed their reports.
§ Mr. HoggThe decisions taken on the recommendations of such scientific committees are normally made public.
§ Mr. DalyellShould not the busy men who serve on these committees be treated with elementary good manners, if possible?
§ Mr. HoggI have never known any member of a committee appointed by me to complain, and I do not believe that there is the smallest basis for the hon. Member's suggestion to the contrary.
