The report details the Committee's introductory hearing with Professor Sir Keith O'Nions, Director General of the Research Councils (DGRC), appointed to the post in January 2004. Topics discussed include the suitability of his appointment; the remit of the DGRC and its relationship with the Research Councils; interdisciplinary research; and the ten year investment framework for science and innovation. The Committee supports the appointment of Sir Keith to the post, and recommends that a new job title be identified to more accurately reflect his role and responsibilities, with a suggested title of 'Director General of the Research Base'.

Book Description
One of the tasks of the Committee has been to scrutinise the relevant, major appointments by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry.

This report concerns Sir John Chisholm who was appointed as Chairman of the MRC in October 2006. The Committee have serious reservation as to whether he is the right person to guide the MRC Executive through the coming period of change.

Book Description
The Role and Functions of Departmental Chief Scientific Advisers (HL Paper 264) concludes that the current system of Chief Scientific Advisers (CSAs) plays a crucial role in offering science and engineering advice to inform Government policy, but also suggests that certain aspects of the system are a cause for concern. The Committee has identified a number of "essential characteristics" necessary to enable CSAs to operate effectively. Recommendations of the Report include: CSAs should be recruited from outside the Civil Service; appointments should be part-time and for a fixed period of three years; CSAs should be graded at Director General or Permanent Secretary level; and all CSAs should be given a seat on departmental Boards and given a formal role in policy submission sign-offs, with budgets for commission advice and evidence to support policy making.

Book Description
The scrutiny of the Office of Science and Technology (OSI) is one of the core tasks of the Committee. During the period covered by this report the OSI and DTI Innovation Group have successfully merged and there has been a new performance management system. There has been a welcomed increase in the science budget but the breach of the principle of ring fencing the budget is deprecated. An important part of OSI's work is reviewing the use of science in Government departments. Although these are valuable the pace of review and information available on them needs to be improved.
