Official Statistics
The UK Statistics Authority actively encourages public bodies to exploit administrative and management sources for statistical purposes.
However the Authority recognises that the statistical advantages of such arrangements can only be fully realised if statisticians have appropriate access to such systems; if statistical purposes are reflected in the design, management, and development of such systems; and if adequate safeguards are put in place to ensure the professional integrity of any official statistics derived from them.
