Review of RANGE OF priceS statistics
Terms of reference
Consider what changes are needed to the range of consumer price
statistics produced for the UK to best meet current and future user
needs.
In doing so:
*
recommend a framework of consumer prices statistics that will
understand and best meet the needs of users, and be accountable,
flexible, transparent, and no more burdensome than is clearly
justified;
*
promote recognised and high-quality statistical standards;
*
consider the arguments for using cost of living or cost of goods
concepts;
*
consider how public and private sectors can best work together,
using all possible data to maximise quality and efficiency; and
*
work within the findings of the Authority’s review of the
governance arrangements and structures supporting the production
of price statistics.
The review will be led by Mr Paul Johnson.
The review will report to the Board of UK Statistics Authority and
deliver a final report for publication with recommendations in January
2015.1
1 The review was initially scheduled to deliver its final report in
summer 2014. The review team has since identified further work to be
undertaken.
