I take the point that the hon. Gentleman is making, but it seems that opposition has done funny things to the Conservative party. It now appears not to trust the organisations that it would have trusted to uphold their statutory functions. Does he not accept that those organisations will hold data? They do hold data. It is part of their job. They must hold data. It is in everyone’s interests that those data are correct. That is simply what the debate is about.
