Proceeding contribution from Lord Jenkin of Roding (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 March 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Official Statistics Order 2009.
Official Statistics Order 2009
How can the Minister possibly argue that the system was working as it should have when the Prime Minister overruled all his officials, including the National Statistician, and insisted upon publishing statistics that he had been firmly told that he ought not to? We had debate after debate on the Floor of the House, in Committee and on Report on the whole question of the misuse of statistics. Here we have had, in the past two or three months, a classic example of Ministers not learning anything about this at all. It is not working properly.
