Evidence documents

In issuing our calls for evidence, we indicated that we intended to make evidence received publicly available unless the author concerned asked us to keep the evidence confidential. We have done this by placing it on the Society's website (royalsociety.org) and by putting it onto the CD-ROM enclosed with this report.¹ For practical reasons we have excluded from the website and CD-ROM material that has already been published elsewhere (since it is already publicly available), and particularly long submissions (where we have included sufficient material to allow readers to judge whether they wish to see the remainder, and information on where it can be found).

The following is a list of the individuals and organisations gave that formal evidence to the inquiry, in writing (W) and/or orally (O).

The submissions, of course, represent the views of their authors and not necessarily the views of the Royal Society.

The Royal Society is most grateful to those who assisted the inquiry by providing evidence.

Please note: In cases where more than one piece of evidence, written or oral, has been submitted the links have been numbered as follows: W1, W2 etc. or O1, O2 etc. The numbering system is for ease of use only and bears no connection to the importance of the document.

¹ In a very small number of cases, after taking legal advice, we have redacted extracts of evidence - for example, personal or confidential information about third parties - where publication would potentially expose the Royal Society to legal action.
