Statistics and Registration Service Bill

I do not have a specific note on HMRC but the noble Baroness will recognise the nature of some of that information being identifiable to individuals and the importance of that. I shall certainly write to her on that point. The amendments are addressed to these clauses, which provide for data sharing under the clearest specifications, in which Parliament has its role to play and for which Ministers have proper responsibility. On that basis I hope she will feel that the Bill stands the test of examination and that she will withdraw the amendment.
