To ask His Majesty's Government how many summary convictions have been recorded in the past three years relating to offences under section 4 of the Statistics of Trade Act 1947.
The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
Please see the letter attached from the Permanent Secretary for the Office for National Statistics.
The Lord Mackinlay of Richborough
House of Lords

Dear
Lord Mackinlay,
As Permanent Secretary of the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking how many summary convictions have been recorded in the past three years relating to offences under section 4 of the Statistics of Trade Act 1947 (HL3835).
Since January 2023,125 cases have resulted in summary convictions under Section 4 of the Statistics of Trade Act 1947.
Information gathered through ONS business surveys is vital for producing economic statistics and informing government policy. The ONS is mindful of the burden placed on respondents and works closely with businesses to support them in meeting their statutory survey obligations. The vast majority of survey returns are submitted without the need for enforcement action.
Enforcement action is pursued only where sustained attempts to secure compliance have been unsuccessful and, when enforcement action commences, many businesses comply before prosecution becomes necessary. As such, prosecution and conviction are measures of last resort, used to help ensure the high-quality data needed to produce reliable official statistics.
Yours sincerely,
Darren Tierney

I welcome the Government’s commitment to Falkland Islands sovereignty and the islanders’ right to self-determination.
In the light of President Milei’s escalating campaign, I think a little history may be in order. The Falkland Islands were first sighted by English navigators in 1592, claimed by Britain in 1765 and continuously settled...

I thank the hon. Gentleman for that important question. You could see the Defence Minister explaining to me that he will have some conversations with you about that. We do not comment on operational matters, but we are moving our capabilities and assets in the area.
