He acted as a scientific consultant to Cadbury Schweppes (as it then was) after retiring from the post of chief Scientific advisor to the government, thus giving rise to the name of their research centre, the design and scope of which was originally controlled by a committee of which he was chairman. I heard him talk at meetings and met him very briefly a few times. He was a zoologist and undoubtably, in his younger years anyway, very bright. When I saw him in the 70s and 80s he would have been in his late sixties or older and struck me as someone who fitted in a bit with my image of a 1950s or 1960s politician (I don't consider that necessarily as a compliment) who had his own ideas which he pushed hard whatever. The badger community might agree with me as it was a committee very much controlled by him that decided, with only limited evidence,that only way to control bovine TB was to gas as many badgers as possible. It was around that time that he was associated with the centre. Although (being 66 myself) I am all for older people being allowed to carry on working if they want to, it is not necessarily a good thing to automatically give them overall control when their mental powers may not be as astute as they were.
