The last Labour Government never published a cumulative impact statement, and our focus right now is on publishing this set of data, as we have committed to do.
Jeremy Lefroy (Stafford) (Con)
I welcome my right hon. Friend’s announcement that the data will be published soon. Does she agree that, when they appear, it is important that they are analysed and that any lessons are learned, because data are pretty useless if we do not do that?
Priti Patel
My hon. Friend is right. As I have said, data are complex and we should not simply read them and make assumptions; they need analysis.
