CW: air quality science experts wanted, UK, Defra
"Air Quality Expert Group (AQEG)"
"Defra will be appointing up to 7 individuals to serve as members of the AQEG from 1 April 2026."
"Closing date for applications is midday, 12 January 2026."
Honorarium plus expenses.
From the details:
"The posts require scientific expertise in an area relevant to air quality and related pollutants. Candidates should be able to demonstrate knowledge of the range of the Committee’s work and high levels of technical expertise in one or more of the fields detailed in the “Qualities and experience required” section.
"The posts are part-time and voluntary, although reasonable travel and subsistence costs are met, alongside an honorarium of £172.20 for attendance at and preparation for meetings. The workload will vary, but on average AQEG members will be required to work approximately 2 days per month, attending 4-6 meetings per year with a maximum workload of 20 days per year."
Would be great to have people in these roles who are willing to point out that #CovidIsAirborne.
Boosts very welcome!

The #Labour Treasury has no long term consideration of risk…it’s putting #Defra in a financial headlock to make it accept US private equity firm KKR take over of #ThamesWater.
‘However, some economists and industry experts question whether there would be any long-term cost to the government at all in a temporary nationalisation, with many noting the example of #Bulb.’

Company that manages #BibbyStockholm given £100m #Defra contract
Defra says contract with Australian firm #CTM is for staff accommodation and travel, but offers no further detail
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/14/company-that-manages-bibby-stockholm-given-100m-defra-contract
#ToryPoliciesInAction -
What next, we wonder?
“Defra has refused to say exactly what the new contract is for, stating only that it will be used for travel and accommodation for staff.”
I’ll bet they’re not going to be “accommodated” in a prison barge moored somewhere off the south coast.

How serious are the #Tories about #foodsafety?
After #Brexit many fear our new food safety regime is too weak, but even that is being undermined by #DEFRA's 70% cut in funding for Dover Port inspectors that will be made in April.
Less stringent restriction + less inspections; as the state steps back it clear for the Tories, the principle of caveat emptor is ever more relevant.
They see 'freeing' us from the constraints of the regulatory state as a good thing, but here its dangerous madness.
