The National Statistician has granted exceptional pre-release access to the publication ‘Crime in England and Wales: year ending March 2024’ for three representatives of PA Media (formerly Press Association). The publication was made available at 8:45am on 24 July 2024, ahead of publication on the ONS website at 9:30am on 24 July 2024. In the opinion of the National Statistician, the access is necessary to facilitate well-informed debate and support better public understanding of the statistics, in line with the rules and principles on pre-release access set out in the relevant UK legislation.
