There is nothing in the Code of Practice for Science Advisory Committees (CoPSAC[1]) that prevents a committee from commissioning additional advice from experts, and committees are encouraged to \u201cseek a wide range of advice from the best sources, particularly when there is uncertainty\u201d.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

CoPSAC states \u201cWhere a SAC lacks the relevant expertise for a particular project or task (as opposed to the committee's on-going work), the committee can co-opt appropriate experts or establish sub-groups to include such people on an ad hoc, time-limited basis\u201d.<\/p>
