Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 September 2026

Debate

Railways Bill

Contribution

Since it is independent, nobody can predict the consequences of an Office for National Statistics examination until it concludes one. I said that the Secretary of State will work with it, because it will also need to consider the recent past. The Bill is in Parliament because it has cross-government agreement from all the departments of government. We cannot contemplate what the future might hold in respect of the decisions of the ONS.
