Official Statistics Agency, which contains information in the heart of decisions affecting millions of people, is under review after criticizing its data.
The government has asked a former government employee to conduct an independent investigation into the influence of the National Statistical Office (ONS).
Earlier, the Bank of England has criticized the statistics agency for confidence in the market data, which the bank sees to decide whether to raise or reduce interest rates.
Ons has accepted the economic data of some problems and said he was pleasant to contact the review.
He said he would release a “newest strategic trade plan” by the end of this week, “howest statistics and services are prioritized throughout next year,” he said.
The cabinet office and the British Statistical Authority have said they have asked Sir Robert Deveryus to lead the review, which “evaluates the ONS in the delivery of its main figures.
It also follows the agency’s “coulds of organization, structure and leadership” and looks at the impact of its relations with the government treasury and the cabinet office.
The ONS survey has been an issue for some time. The survey collects information in homes on areas such as employment, unemployment and economic inactivity.
In May, the Bank of England’s economy chief said to ONS to raise concerns about “continuous problems” with the poll, as a minimum number of response to the virus during the COVID-19.
As a result, the bank said the bank could not put “a lot of weight” on ONS data and had to use other official figures to help decide on interest rates.
Ons has been committed to introducing a new labor data series until next year.
In December, however, Sir Ian Diamond, national statistics and ONS chief, warned that it may not happen until
“This review is an opportunity to help ensure that ONS can offer its best in an outdoor environment,” said Sir Robert Chote, head of the British Statistics Authority, who had monitoring ONS.
