submission to BIS consultation on the Code of Practice for Scientific Advisory Committees

The report concluded that the Code of Practice from 2007 is still widely considered to reflect authoritative guidance on the processes and practice of providing independent scientific advice to government departments but would benefit from updating and clarification of some key issues.
