Proceeding contribution from Lord Brett (Labour) 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

The noble Lord is asking rhetorical questions. This is the circulation of a document to civil servants, from the head of the Civil Service to the appropriate Permanent Secretaries in departments. We are seeking to ensure that officials and special advisers know their role, so there is no question of the political overriding the integrity elements in the code to which the noble Lord has referred.
