The distortion of the output of studies procured by Government is now systemic. It's a slick, well oiled process. The rot started with privatisation and quangos. Previously, there was a scientific civil service, which included the precursors to Qinetic. Not perfect, by any means. But 1) there was a civil service ethic and 2) the minister was directly accountable to Parliament fo rthe civil service output.
