Investigate the evidence, production & publication of the Sewell Report

Closed 670 signatures

What the petition asks

The House of Commons should establish a Committee to publicly scrutinise & report on criticisms, incl claims that: named contributors hadn’t contributed or been consulted properly; contributions weren’t considered/published or used as expected; as well as the authorship of the report.

Government policy and decision-making must be based on good scientific advice and evidence. The Sewell Report has faced sustained challenges of its evidence and conclusions. These challenges have been brought by a range of professional bodies and respected individuals across society. Consequently, the report has been significantly undermined. Further, the extent to which all citizens can have confidence in the Sewell Report has been significantly undermined.
