Lancet Report

Asked that when Downing Street questioned the methodology used to produce the survey in the Lancet last October about the number people who had died in Iraq, were we aware of the advice by the Chief Scientific Advisor to the MoD who described the analysis as "appropriate" and the methods as "close to best practice", the PMOS replied that this issue surfaced two or three weeks ago, and from memory he had believed there were still question marks over that methodology.
