Statistics and Registration Service Bill

The hon. Lady is saying that statistics should not be spun. She said earlier that confidence is at an ““all-time low””, citing one statistic—17 per cent.—from one survey. She should know that in order to suggest that something is at an all-time low one needs a sequence of at least two statistics—it is not good enough merely to cite one.
