Sat Jan 12 11:35:36 UTC 2013

I have sent my own response, and posted it here for anyone who's interested:
http://svpow.com/2013/01/12/my-submission-to-the-house-of-lords-science-and-technology-committee/

If anything I said in there is at all useful towards a group response,
please feel free to use it.
