Proceeding contribution from Stephen Ladyman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Urgent question on Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.
Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs
As a Member with a scientific background, I would be the first to say that science must inform the decisions that it can inform. However, does my right hon. Friend agree that many parts of complex decisions cannot be measured or tested scientifically and may require a more subjective judgment that Ministers have to apply? Will he write to other scientific advisers in the Department to make them aware of that distinction?
