Committees

Misinformation and trusted voices

Inquiry

How to ensure the public has sufficient access to authoritative information on matters of national debate is to be examined by the DCMS Committee in an inquiry looking at the role of trusted voices in combating the spread of misinformation.

The Committee will explore which organisations are the most trusted sources of information in the UK and examine the part played in the national debate of the publicly funded and independent National Academies, which represent the UK’s science, arts, engineering and medical research communities.
