Proceeding contribution from Michael Fallon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Statistics and Registration Service Bill.

Statistics and Registration Service Bill

No—I think that the Economic Secretary has had a fair crack at this. He, of all people, should be aware of the suspicions that have arisen concerning the various classifications, the accusations that have been bandied around on both sides, and the fundamental problem of perception. I will not give way to him again unless he can explain why the Chancellor said, less than two years ago, that the independence of the ONS was ““clear and obvious””, but is now introducing legislation to make it more independent.
