Statistics and Registration Service Bill

My Lords, when I first saw this amendment, I wondered whether it was really necessary. The Minister may say, ““Is not serving the public good sufficient?””. However, while listening to the discussion, in particular to the contribution of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkin of Roding, I have become convinced that, given the history and background, it is important to have both belt and braces. That is what the amendment seeks. It would add braces to the belt, or whichever way round you prefer it. It would be helpful to have this amendment and I hope the Government will agree to it.
