Government Statistics

Question
When she next expects to meet the national statistician to discuss policy on publication of statistics by Government Departments.
Answer

I meet the national statistician regularly once every three months, but I have no plans to discuss with her the policy on the publication of statistics by Government Departments. Departments are expected to follow the code of practice for official statistics that is maintained by the independent UK Statistics Authority.
