Proceeding contribution from Earl of Northesk (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 May 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

In respect of both instances that are the subject of the noble Lord’s amendment, the board will end up being the secondary source of information. The information will have been derived from primary sources, whatever those sources may be. In that event, why on Earth is it necessary for the law statutorily to demand the right of access to the board’s information when as a matter of course that information primarily is available elsewhere?
