Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Statistics and Registration Service Bill.


Statistics and Registration Service Bill

The Minister seems to have put forward two arguments today: first that we should continue to operate pre-release in the same way because that is how it has been done for years, which I do not find very convincing, and secondly that what is being proposed is not ideal but is an improvement on what has gone before. Perhaps the Government should make a more significant improvement and give the board the power to decide this critically important question.
