Statistics and Registration Service Bill

I thank the Minister for offering to write, and welcome that. He will be aware that I was not so much worried about the Statistics Board increasing the resources that might otherwise be available for its proper purposes as about those resources being diminished. I hope that he will take that into account when he writes to me. I look forward to that letter, and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 20 agreed to. Clause 21 [Statistical research]: [Amendment No. 107 not moved.] Clause 21 agreed to. Clause 22 [Delegated functions]: [Amendments Nos. 108 to 110 not moved.] Clause 22 agreed to. Clause 23 [Census etc]: [Amendment No. 111 not moved.] Clause 23 agreed to. [Amendment No. 112 not moved.] Schedule 1 agreed to.
