Recommendation
We recommend that the Government takes the necessary steps to ensure that elected politicians cannot sit on Safety Advisory Groups. (Recommendation, Paragraph 35) 23 Response of the Home Office and Government
Government Response Summary
The government agrees that the membership of Safety Advisory Groups should continue to be grounded in operational, regulatory and technical expertise, and the new guidance from the UK Resilience Academy will set out its position on political involvement given the expectation of impartiality of SAG members; however, it does not take steps to ensure that elected politicians cannot sit on the groups.
