- Abstract
The article discusses a report by Great Britain's House of Commons Innovation, Universities, Science and Skills Committee, in which it criticized Great Britain's chief scientific adviser John Beddington for failing to defend the use of science in policy-making. Topics include Beddington's response to the report, his refusal to challenge the government regarding its decision to provide homeopathic medicine through its National Health Service, and Beddington's lack of a high profile status.
