Statistics and Registration Service Bill

Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bills on Statistics and Registration Service Bill.
The Government have consistently resisted the argument that we should get rid of the two-tier system altogether because it causes confusion between official and national statistics. If they are confident that the man on the street can draw that distinction with ease, why are they worried that the title of the code of practice might cause confusion?
