For these reasons, I hope that we will move rapidly to the compliance checks, so that the NHS can take advantage of whatever suggestions or proposals are made by the statistics regulator. If public confidence in the statistics systems drains because they are based on merely partial evidence, open government will be the loser. I hope that, on Report, we can consider some of the questions again. I oppose, for the moment, the proposal of the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton.
