Abstract
AbstractFollowing the report of the ‘task force’, the UK Government decided to accept some of it's recommendations. In particular, it accepted two that recommended the setting up of a British National Centre for Near Earth Objects. The final outcome was the setting up of a Near Earth Object Information Centre to inform the general public of the dangers or otherwise from impact on the Earth of Near Earth Objects. The Centre has now been running for several years and in this publication we examine the current workings of the Centre and discuss some of its successes and failures.
