MAFF operates a large number and wide range
of scientific advisory committees to provide advice to Ministers
on issues of importance. Membership of these committees is largely
made up of external scientific experts, but also includes, in
most cases, consumer representatives and other interested parties.
MAFF has worked hard to increase public awareness of the important
job undertaken by its advisory committees by making information
on membership, Terms of Reference and minutes of meetings freely
available. The main MAFF scientific advisory committees are:
— Advisory Committee on Novel Foods
and Processes
— Advisory Committee on Pesticides
— Farm Animal Welfare Council
— Food Advisory Committee
— Hill Farming Advisory Committee for
England, Wales and Northern Ireland
— Microbiological Safety of Food Advisory
Committee
— Spongiform Encephalopathy Advisory
