That this House regrets the continuing attempts to silence or misrepresent scientists whose research indicates possible human health problems from GM crops, as in the case of Dr Irina Ermakova who was misled by the editor of Nature Biotechnology into submitting an article to the journal to be published under her name, with the article in fact published under the editor's name with criticisms by four well-known GM supporters not seen by Dr Ermakova prior to publication; deplores the continuing efforts by an employee of the Canadian Government, Shane Morris, to close down websites in the UK and Republic of Ireland which have, along with Dr Richard Jennings of Cambridge University, said that research which claimed that consumers prefer GM sweetcorn published by this employee and others and given an Award for Excellence, is a flagrant fraud; and calls on the Government Chief Scientist to protect the integrity and objectivity of science by reasserting the right of scientists to have their views published by journals without underhand interference by journal editors, and for the Chief Scientist to encourage journal editors to withdraw papers they have published which subsequently turn out to be grossly misleading or even fraudulent.

That this House notes the recent exposure by the BBC's Panorama programme of the undue influence exerted by the sugar industry on a UN consultation on the effects of sugar in human nutrition which revealed secret sugar industry funding for the consultation, and influence over both the selection of the chairman and the consultation parameters; also notes that the food industry has been shown to have copied the tabacco industry's model in activities including the placing of favoured scientists on World Health Organisation and Food and Agriculture Organisation committees and the establishment and funding of industry-wide research and policy groups; further notes widespread public concern over such undue influence exerted by commercial companies and lobbyists in the food, tobacco, nuclear, chemical and other industrial sectors; believes these are illustrative examples of a systemic problem; is concerned at the high levels of public scepticism in relation to many public inquiries and government reports; is further concerned that such clandestine influence can only serve to further undermine public confidence in both government and science; and urges the Government to establish a public inquiry into the links that exist between companies engaging in scientific research of a commercial nature and government officials, including policy advisers at all levels ranging from the executive to scrutiny committees, and bodies charged with evaluating the efficacy, safety and desirability of products that companies are seeking initial and continued approval to market to the public.
