Business question from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 March 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate about the role and independence of the excellent researchers in the House of Commons Library? This week, the shadow Home Secretary, who is a serial reoffender when it comes to dodgy crime statistics, embroiled the Library in controversy by quoting selectively from research. Would it not be better if, when using research from the House of Commons Library, all of us undertook to publish all that research, rather than selectively quoting for political advantage?
