More SciTech committee appointments

Via Farrah Bhatti's Twitter page come three more Labour party appointments to the Science and Technology Select Committee in the House of Commons. There has apparently been something of a struggle to find anyone else who is interested and the three late appointees are all from the new intake. Finally joining Andrew Miller and Graham Stringer are:

  • Pamela Nash (a former parliamentary researcher)
  • Gregg McClymont (a historian)
  • Jonathan Reynolds (professional politician)

The LibDems have yet to make their appointments to the panel.

(See also this interview with new committee chairman Andrew Miller, who says his priority for the new committee will be to maintain expenditure on science).

... priority for the new committee will be to maintain expenditure on science

No more funding for climate "science" then.

A researcher, an historian and a professional politician. Just what's needed for a science committee!

The new Chair, Andrew Miller MP, is most approachable and experienced. I hope that others receive the same courtesy and consideration as I have been given in some emails.
