HC Deb 05 November 1998 vol 318 c684W
22. Mr. Flynn

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proposals he has to improve the accuracy of Government statistics. [56882]

Ms Hewitt

The Government are committed to enhancing the integrity of official statistics. The Green Paper "Statistics: A Matter of Trust" was published in February and set out options to ensure that official statistics are of assured quality and produced and presented in a way which is free from political interference. In the light of the subsequent consultation exercise, the Government's proposals will be set out in a White Paper.
