Limiting pre-release access to statistics: a consultation document
The Treasury and Cabinet Office are today publishing 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 welcomes views on the proposals set out in the consultation document by 3 March 2008. The consultation 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 consultation is available in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). If you do not have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer you can download the software free of charge from the Adobe website.
