letter from Minister on demographic data

The request was successful.

Sam from medConfidential

Dear Department of Health and Social Care,

In the National Data Guardian debate on the 12th December, Lord O’Shaughnessy said to the House of Lords:
"With the permission of the House, I need to clarify an important point raised at Second Reading on demographic data. I have laid a letter on this subject before the House as a more extended account.”
https://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?id...

That letter does not appear to have been deposited with the House library for publication.

Can you please provide a copy of the letter Lord O'Shaughnessy referred to in that debate?
(either the letter itself, or a link to a newly deposited paper placed in the House library)

Yours faithfully,
Sam Smith

Department of Health and Social Care
