Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 July 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on Department for Trade and Industry.
Department of Trade and Industry
As someone who, in a former existence, licensed the first GM food in this country, I recall being given advice at the time that it was better to put up a scientist on the television than a politician, because the public would trust the scientist rather than a politician. I wonder what the hon. Gentleman’s thoughts are about that, in the light of what he has just said.
