In her paper to Cabinet, the Minister said that to ensure the evaluation process was fair and robust and unbiased, she had adopted several mitigation strategies, including setting up a technical reference group. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment now have set up the technical reference group, and while a number of the members have extremely strong CVs, we were surprised to see the appointment of a Greenpeace climate and emergency campaigner and one of the founders of School Strike 4 Climate put on the technical reference group. Is the Minister satisfied that these appointments fulfil her expectations of this group that it provide robust, unbiased, technical advice? The second question on that is: were the appointments to the technical reference group sent to her for approval before they were announced?
