Conflict of interest of PACE authors raised in parliamentary debate

Thanks for the video! Just to clarify, it's an extract from a meeting of the Science and Technology committee of the House of Commons, rather than a debate in the main Chamber (so quite a small meeting). But still great!

I notice that the guy answering the questions is from Sense About Science, the organisation that awarded Simon Wessely the first ever Ford Maddox Prize for standing up for science in the face of opposition! o_O

I think I read somewhere that Sense About Science also has close links with the Science Media Centre. Does anyone know whether or not that's the case?
