Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbrook (Conservative) 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 disagree with the Minister and support the amendment tabled by my noble friend Lord Northesk. Clause 7(2)(a) refers to giving information to the public about social and economic matters and paragraph (b) refers to, "““assisting in the development and evaluation of public policy””." My noble friend’s amendment is a useful addition. I would like to focus on the transparency of statistics for the benefit of the individual citizen.
