Heads of Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Bill 2013: Discussion

4:30 pm

Professor Peadar Kirby:

No I have not, but that is an interesting idea. The fiscal advisory council is appointed by the Government, is it not? My recommendation is the heads of the universities should appoint the expert group of scientists. I say that because it is very important that the leading experts are on the scientific advisory committee, rather than experts the Government would like to see on it.
