Baroness Freeman of Steventon (CB)
Before the Minister sits down, he said that there will be evaluations of the efficacy of these systems but he did not mention whether those will have to be made public. Can he give me any assurance on that?
Lord Vallance of Balham (Lab)
There is a requirement. Going back to the issue of principles, which was discussed earlier on, one of the existing principles—which I am now trying to locate and cannot—is transparency. I expect that we would make as much of the information public as we can in order to ensure good decision-making and assure people as to how the decisions have been reached.
