What the Office for Statistics Regulation wrote
“As you are aware, we were recently asked to review elements of the consumer trends data – in particular, the administrative costs of transport insurance from Table 12.5.4 of the series.”
“We are grateful to the team for its cooperation, and we welcome the steps that ONS has already taken to improve its communication of the consumer trends during our review.”
“To support users’ understanding of the statistics, it is important that ONS progresses its plan to provide a fuller update to consumer trends documentation to ensure that key information is kept up to date and equally available to all, in line with the principles of intelligent transparency.”
