Clause 7
Statistics and Registration Service Bill

I have a brief comment that follows on from what the hon. Lady said. The clause sets out laudable objectives, but I suppose that the key issue is how to deliver them. It relates to official statistics, so it has been widely welcomed. The statistics user forum said that it was
“pleased to note that ensuring access to official statistics is specifically mentioned as part of the good practice the board is intended to promote”.
Does the Minister have a view on whether having a code that is applicable to official statistics as well as national statistics would help to deliver that aim?
