Proceeding contribution from Lord Bates (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

It is not a rhetorical point. The point was made by my noble friend to say that the Prime Minister specifically said on 10 December that he required this information to be released. In his defence, the Minister has cited the fact that the Home Secretary apologised. It is entirely reasonable to ask why, given that it was actually the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister should not apologise specifically for that.
