UK to split leadership at statistics office to address data issues
LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) - Britain said it would separate the leadership roles at the Office for National Statistics (ONS), which has been criticised for economic data failures, following a review into its performance and culture.
The UK Statistics Authority and Cabinet Office said in response to the review that they "strongly agree" with its recommendation to temporarily separate the role of national statistician from that of ONS permanent secretary, the leader of the office.
