The Medical Research Council (MRC) is a national organisation funded by UK tax-payers. Its business is medical research aimed at improving human health. The chairman of MRC between 1998 and 2006 was Sir Anthony Cleaver, who was replaced by Sir John Chisholm previously the executive chairman of QinetiQ, now non-executive chairman.[1] It is perhaps worth noting that the former (Anthony Cleaver) chairman of the MRC and his recent replacement both have strong involvement with arms companies.
