To mark the launch of the consultation, we asked a number of leading scientists and policymakers to give us their thoughts on the role of science and the issues raised by the consultation:
"A significant outcome from the consultation is that respondents want us – Government – to take a more active role. So rather than have more recommendations, we will take action. The Groups are already being brought together and planning their first meetings. I’m delighted about the level of enthusiasm I’ve seen and I will do everything I can to support the actions they take."
