Acting National Statistician Emma Rourke said:
“We welcome Sir Robert Devereux’s report and fully acknowledge the issues he has highlighted. This represents a turning point for the ONS as we commit to implement the recommendations and reset towards a culture that embraces feedback and challenge.
"This starts today with the publication of our new plan for ONS economic statistics, setting out an immediate prioritisation of our core statistics that are so vital to UK decision making.
"We are grateful for the continued support from the users of our statistics and look forward to working together as we restore confidence in them."
