Sentence:  Mr. John Powley (Norwich, South): The hon. Member for Newham, North-West (Mr. Banks) was careful to say that at any one time no more than four GLC officers were present in the Committee. He did not say that only four had ever been present. Is it not possible that, through the long hours, relays of four different people at different times have been involved in the argument?/ Mr. Martin Stevens: That is what is called playing the <WSD>numbers game</WSD>. I do no more than thank my hon. Friend for his kind intervention. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  The use of inappropriate statistics (numbers) to reflect a desired result (usually misleading).
