The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee will examine the performance of the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), and its two executive offices, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR).
In light of recent debate and discussion about the efficacy of the UK’s employment figures, Committee members will explore whether issues with ONS’s Labour Force Survey are an anomaly, or whether issues with the organisation’s performance run deeper. In doing so, MPs will scrutinise some of ONS’s most important programmes: the Transformed Labour Force Survey, Integrated Data Service, and its reimagining of the traditional Census.
