8/ And behind that hype sits another problem: a government too timid to question its own “independent” scientific advisers – even when their evidence is partial, conflicted or flat-out wrong.

7/ Claims of the growth potential of argi-biotech are not supported by any economic analysis. No one in government can say how much taxpayer money has been spent on decades of GMO development or what the return on that investment has been. The numbers don’t exist – only the hype.

3/ Those figures, carelessly lifted from think tank propaganda & obscure academic research, DID NOT refer to the UK nor to agricultural biotechnology BUT were, nevertheless, presented to Parliament as ‘proof’ of GM-PBOs’ domestic growth potential.

2/ Figures were quoted suggesting the UK was losing $182 billion to $356 billion annually by not fully deregulating GM-PBOs and that current regulations added a stifling 74% to the cost of marketing for businesses.
