A Special Adviser going public isn't going to stay in a job very long.

If however he was lying the Conservatives could get some lackey to put in a freedom of information request. Advice isn't routinely published but if it was deemed to be in the public interest all of the bold Dom's lies could be exposed. If, of course, he is lying.

In practice much of the advice he offers would be verbal and not recorded. If the Government did follow such advice then it'd clearly be political and not "the science".
