Proceeding contribution from Lord Moser (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 April 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Statistics and Registration Service Bill.


Statistics and Registration Service Bill

The simple answer is that many clauses relate to the Treasury rather than to the Cabinet Office, so the decision must be taken anyhow. I do not want to repeat everything that I have already said but, quite apart from all those points, from the point of view of public perception and integrity, one department will be mentioned as being responsible for residual roles, and it would be better for it to be the Cabinet Office rather than the Treasury.
