Professor John Beddington, or Sir John as we must start learning to call him soon, was the man who suggested Lord Oxburgh as the head of the inquiry into UEA's scientific oeuvre (or at least those parts that were likely to be uncontroversial.
As readers here know, I have previously obtained some of Professor Beddington's emails under FoI and I've now obtained one more.
It's pretty interesting.
It was sent on the afternoon after the publication of the Oxburgh report.
