Parliamentary Committee Submissions
The UK Statistics Authority, as an independent body accountable to Parliament, regularly engages with parliaments across the UK. In particular, the Authority does this through evidence to relevant select committee inquiries. This ensures that policy makers across the UK are making decisions informed by a sound evidence base, while developing the role of official statistics in democratic debate.
