Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Government of Wales Bill.
Government of Wales Bill
Yes, and one member of Plaid Cymru asked for the annual accounts and was refused them. [Hon. Members: ““Ah!””] The hon. Gentleman flew into that one. All I shall say is that a sample of 47 people is about as useful as a pair of paper socks, as it does not take us anywhere at all. The process is not scientific. I have heard programmes on which the hon. Gentleman has said about a political sample, ““Oh, this is a sample of only 500; it is not indicative of anything.”” Well, 47 is not exactly persuasive. For all I know, some of the 47 had been in the pub that has been mentioned and were confused before they started. Who knows?
