UK Stats Authority’s 2018/19 Regulatory Work Programme consultation

GLA Economics (GLAE) welcomes this opportunity to provide our views on the UK Statistics Authority’s 2018/19 Regulatory Work Programme priorities. Official statistics datasets all help to inform GLA decision making and planning and it is of huge importance that their production and publication is safeguarded effectively.

GLAE welcomes the UK Statistics Authority’s continued commitment towards the assessment of regional GVA statistics and measurement of the modern economy. Regional economic statistics are highly valuable to GLAE, and it is important that the ONS continues to produce trustworthy and high-quality statistics at this level.
