Proceeding contribution from Lord Desai (Labour) 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
I think that will not be enough. I still think that I would rather the National Statistician not to be put on the spot and then the board coming in. We can always say that the board has guaranteed the National Statistician’s independence and allowed him or her to issue the statistics. When it comes to the dissemination or production of statistics, believe you me, when the next census comes there will be explosive social issues, and the National Statistician should not be left alone.
