Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Statistics and Registration Service Bill.

Statistics and Registration Service Bill

Will the Minister address the core issue of whether departments or those who produce statistics should comply with the code? He sought to deal with the first amendment in the group, which concerns whether the board should monitor compliance. I do not think that he addressed at all whether departments and others who prepare, produce or publish statistics should comply with the code. That is the meat of this group, as I explained in my introductory remarks. Will he comment on that?
