UK Parliament / Open data

Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

I seek clarification on what the Minister just told us. She outlined all the various data which are collected and published at the moment, but this Government are committed to reducing the burdens of data collection and regulation. We keep having various surveys and various other forms of data, the collection of which is then cancelled. Can the Minister give us an absolute undertaking that none of the data sets she has talked about will stop being collected between now and the end of this Parliament? If it was written into legislation that this

report would have to be produced, it would obviously then be very difficult for the Government to resile from their obligation to collect the data.
