"David Williams decided to decline the offer to become a committee member & to make sure the committee could start on schedule Brian McMillan was co-opted in," a Defra spokeswoman said. Mr McMillan joins Andrew Roberts from BPI & M&S's head of packaging Helene Roberts on the committee, which is chaired by Robert Lisney of Irl Consulting Services & was unveiled last month.
