, said it welcomed a pledge by the Department for Food and Rural Affairs to set up "an independent group of external experts to analyse the evidence behind the competing theories".to Environment Secretary Therese Coffey, Conservative committee chairman and MP for Scarborough and Whitby Sir Robert Goodwill said the inquiry should be "open and collaborative" to "rebuild trust and work towards a consensus".
But, he said, the "exact terms of reference of the review are unknown" and the committee had seen emails which said "membership of the panel will not be shared outside of government until the panel has published its findings". Sir Robert said: "The committee feels that this falls short of the collaborative process that we envisaged for this review.
"This lack of transparency and communication is unlikely to build trust with scientists who have been critical of the previous Defra report and the local community, which feels that its concerns have not been listened to.He said the review should be "more open, transparent and collaborative" and as a minimum, details of who would be on the panel should be published before the end of the year.
