Edited sentence: Debate continues within the BMA.For example, the British Medical Association used to be against helmet compulsion, following an extensive review of the evidence in 1999.In late 2004 the BMA's Board of Science and Education adopted a 'position' calling on the UK government to introduce cycle helmet legislation, and this was confirmed at the 2005 Annual Representative Meeting following fifteen minutes of debate (transcript).Several provably wrong figures were removed after initial publication, but the review is still viewed as distorted, excluding not only references included in the 1999 BMA study, but the 1999 study itself.The BMA's new position uses statistics provided by the British political lobby group, the Bicycle Helmet Initiative Trust, and excludes from consideration the majority of conflicting evidence, including the BMA's own previous work.Various organizations have taken up definite positions on the issue, not always based on a full review of the evidence
