Proceeding contribution from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 September 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scientific Advice (Emergencies).
Scientific Advice (Emergencies)
I apologise to hon. Members that I was not present at the beginning of the debate, but I was engaged in activities elsewhere in the House. The Minister makes a good point. At times, medical scientists may offer advice that would be hard to deliver in terms of social science. There could be a conflict between pieces of advice that are properly given by two proponents of the same profession.
