On 10 December Treasury and Cabinet Office jointly published Limiting pre-release access to statistics: a consultation document.
The consultation document sets out how, as a part of the Governance of Britain programme of constitutional renewal, the Government is proposing to tighten the rules and principles under which access to official statistics in their final form can be granted ahead of their publication.
The Government asked for views on the proposals set out in the consultation document by 3 March 2008. The submissions below are the responses that the Government recieved. These responses will be used to inform the rules and principles for pre-release access that will then be put to Parliament for approval by the Minister for the Cabinet Office.
The responses below are published here with the permission of their authors. They do not necessarily reflect the views of the HM Treasury or of the Government. Certain submissions have had contact details removed to protect the privacy of the authors.
