To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the difference between the Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances that was abolished on 22 July and the Hazardous Substances Advisory Committee set up in its place on the same day. [HL3176]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is the difference between the Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances that was abolished on 22 July and the Hazardous Substances Advisory Committee set up in its place on the same day. [HL3176]
The difference between these two bodies was covered in the Explanatory Document to the Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances (Abolition) Order 2012 (Statutory Instrument No 2012/1923). The transition from one body to the other reflects changes in the arrangements for science advice in Defra and in the regulation of chemicals. The Hazardous Substances Advisory Committee (HSAC) has new terms of reference which are broader, more strategic and more flexible than those for the Advisory Committee on Hazardous Substances (ACHS). ACHS members, including the chairman, have carried their remaining terms of office forward to the HSAC. We are in the process of recruiting new members for HSAC to fill current and anticipated vacancies.
Further information about the HSAC, including its new terms of reference and code of practice, can be found on the Defra website.

My Lords, these Benches support the proposal to abolish the advisory committee, principally on the grounds that we are satisfied that the replacement will be independent of Ministers, that it will continue to work openly and that the public and specialist interests will be able to attend meetings. I agree...

My Lords, this has been a good debate. I will write to the noble Lord, Lord Knight, about some of the detailed questions he asked me, but I will be writing to him anyway because I would like to share the correspondence we have had with Professor Stephen Holgate and...
