Integrity Of Statistical Office

EDM number 428 in 1992-93, proposed by Peter Bottomley on 06/07/1992.

That this House invites the Director of the Central Statistical Organisation to review the methodology used by the expert statistician in the exhibit to the affidavit in 1991 of an ex post facto calculation of building society composite rate tax; further invites the Director to make the comparative calculations of the actual CRT and the basic rate tax that would have been payable in the absence of a CRT system; and invites the Director to agree that the proof of the correctness of the rate assumes the correctness of the rate and that the methodology is in effect a mathematical hoax.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
