Opinion: “This year something has changed. More than 100 MPs’ offices signed up to January’s Evidence Week 2024, many of them immediately...MPs asked a host of questions on topics such as health data, post-Covid school attendance, pollution and transport.”

Evidence matters. This week in Parliament, #EvidenceWeek is bringing researchers, MPs and the public together to look at how we use facts and data to make better decisions. A great reminder that good policy starts with good evidence.

Last week, Dr Glory Aigbedion joined us in Parliament to ask her question on community involvement in research to a panel of experts as part of our #EvidenceWeek 'reverse' committee hearing.
Thank you to all who submitted their questions on the evidence behind policies.

Earlier this week, during the #EvidenceWeek opening reverse committee, @laurenceto.bsky.social joined us at Westminster to ask MPs a question on an issue that matters to him - it's great to have public voices shaping the conversation on evidence and policy.

Antonia Bance MP took the witness stand at the #EvidenceWeek reverse committee hearing this week, on behalf of the Business and Trade Committee. People from across the UK came to Westminster to put their questions directly to MPs, asking about the evidence behind the issues that matter most to them.

We’ve just completed two brilliant days of quickfire policy briefings –covering everything from plastic waste and winter mortality to AI and more.
A huge thanks to all the research institutions and policymakers who joined us for another edition of #EvidenceWeek in Parliament
