Evidence Week brings people together. MPs, researchers, and the public attend. They discuss using evidence for policy decisions. Parliament’s role in scrutinizing evidence is key.
Sense about Science and POST organize it. This annual Westminster event is called Evidence Week. MPs hear from top scientists at it. Experts discuss pressing issues with them.
These issues range from housing to inequality. Evidence Week is now in its seventh year. It started because the public wanted more policy details.
People want to know why decisions happen. They want to know about football rules. Green tech subsidies interested people. People want decisions to be well-informed.
Evidence matters to everyday citizens. Parliament makes choices impacting everyone. People expect MPs to check policies carefully. They want to know the evidence supporting them.
