James had reason to have big aspirations. S. This was to be a prestigious agency, staffed by 3,000 civil servants. D. was to be its first director-a signhcant poiitical appointment. Now it appeared that James was intent on adding another feather to his cap and perhaps impressing his future boss Tony Blair.

"That a nutritional institute should select non-nutritionists to do this audit is quite unbelievable," says Pusztai. Moreover, the panel was not given the complete data, did their entire review in less than a day, and didn't consult with Pusztai at all. A summary of their audit report was released on October 28. It claimed that there were important deficiencies in Pusztai's study.
