I am continuing to examine the issues raised in the House and in the media in relation to the academic qualifications of the chief science adviser. I have raised the specific issues identified in the previous questions and representations from members of the House with the chief science adviser and have sought his response. I have met the chief science adviser to discuss the issues in question and following that meeting I have asked the chief science adviser to submit additional information. The issues raised are significant and it is vital that a full and diligent examination and consideration of them is undertaken and that a determination is made only when all of the issues are fully considered.
