Proceeding contribution from Lord Evans of Temple Guiting (Labour) 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

It may not be available elsewhere. It may have been collected from a variety of sources. The point of my explanation on the amendments is that there is nothing new here. This is how the board operates at the moment and we are simply explaining that that is how it will operate in future. If the noble Earl believes that there is a basic inefficiency in how the ONS has done its duty in the past, we will be very happy to look at that. The noble Baroness, Lady Noakes, shakes her head. If I was proposing that the board did things in a different way, there might be a reason for some discussion, but I am describing what happens now.
