Introduction

This statement sets out the statistics release policy for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). It covers the operational processes for releasing official statistics, including the arrangements for giving ministers and officials pre-release access to official statistics once they have attained their final form prior to publication. These arrangements are designed to maintain public confidence in the integrity of official statistics while allowing ministers to respond to questions and to comment or act on statistics covering policy areas for which they are democratically responsible.

Authority

These arrangements have been drawn up by the department’s Head of Profession for Statistics, who is responsible for ensuring the day-to-day implementation of these arrangements, on behalf of the ministers and the department’s permanent secretaries.

Pre-announcement

Official statistics are pre-announced via the 12-month release calendar on gov.uk. The provisional month of release is generally announced 12 months in advance and the specific release dates are published at least four weeks in advance where possible.

Changes to pre-announced release dates are approved by the Head of Profession for Statistics. Where a date needs to be changed, the release calendar is updated promptly including a reason where a specific date is changed.

Timing

Release dates are selected to ensure statistics are released as soon as they are ready, allowing sufficient time for quality assurance. Most of our official statistics are regular releases with a predictable annual, quarterly, monthly or weekly release schedule.

Official statistics are published at 9.30am.

Pre-release access

In line with The Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008, DESNZ limits access to official statistics before publication. The number of people outside the production team who have access is kept to a minimum and is only granted where denying access would significantly impede:

  • the provision of responses to questions, or statements about those statistics at, or shortly after, their time of publication;
  • the ability of ministers to take action just before, at, or shortly after the time of publication.

Pre-release access is only granted where the public benefit is assessed to outweigh the detriment to public trust, as assessed by the Head of Profession for Statistics.

The period of access is restricted to a maximum of 24 hours before their public release at 9.30am on the following day.

A list of official statistics to which this statement applies and the job titles of all those persons to whom pre-release access has been granted, and the organisations to which they belong is available below. Where a Private Office inbox, such as a Minister’s or Special Advisor’s, is available to a number of people, individuals performing that function will be able to see the figures and are bound by the same handling rules.

See the pre-release access list for DESNZ statistics.

Conditions of pre-release access

Those persons who are given access to DESNZ’s statistics ahead of their release must keep the statistics secure and under embargo, and they must abide by certain conditions of access. They must avoid:

  • disclosing the statistics or any part of a publication containing those statistics to any person not listed as a pre-release recipient
  • providing any indication of the size or direction of any trend revealed by the statistics
  • using such access for personal gain, or taking any action for political advantage
  • exploiting such access to change or compromise the content, presentation, or timing of publication of official statistics

Statistics shared before release are clearly marked and recipients required to actively agree to these conditions.

Breach of conditions of release

In the event of a breach of the principles and rules set out in the legislation and described in this statement, the Head of Profession for Statistics will assess whether to notify the National Statistician and the Office for Statistics Regulation, while taking action to prevent a recurrence. The Office for Statistics Regulation may subsequently investigate in conjunction with the relevant Head of Profession, depending on the severity and risk the breach posed to the public trust of statistics.

Sanctions against non-compliance

The department’s Head of Profession for Statistics may, for a period, withdraw pre-release access from any person judged to have breached the conditions of their access.

In addition, a heavier sanction can be imposed by the UK Statistics Authority which has a statutory duty to assess the extent to which any organisation’s Official Statistics comply with the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008 and with the associated obligations set out in this statement. The authority can, for instance, challenge an organisation where it considers that pre-release access is not justified or where an organisation is failing to conform with these arrangements. It can also withdraw, or consider withdrawing, accreditation from the statistics in question.

This document contains lists of post recipients of pre-release access for DESNZ official statistics. This list is updated on a regular basis to reflect the latest arrangements.

Statistics with no pre-release access

No pre-release access is granted for the following Statistics outputs:

  • Household energy efficiency (monthly data)
  • Non-Domestic National Energy Efficiency Framework
  • Renewables obligation: certificates and generation
  • Road fuel prices (weekly)
  • Subnational electricity and gas consumption in Northern Ireland

  • Average road fuel sales, deliveries and stock levels

Notes

Pre-release access

In the context described above, the phrase ‘pre-release access’ covers privileged access to statistical releases in their final form for up to 24 hours prior to being placed in the public domain. It does not cover access prior to publication available to:

  • those staff engaged in the process of producing and disseminating the statistics in question (including those responsible for overseeing this process)
  • those persons requested by the producers to quality assure the statistics before their public release

Categories of persons within government to whom DESNZ would normally grant pre-release access to its statistical releases

  • those ministers who have policy or operational responsibility for a particular subject-matter covered by a statistical release; who are accountable to Parliament and the electorate for their stewardship of that policy; and who may need to respond to questions about the statistics, or take appropriate action, at the time of release of those statistics
  • those chief executives who have operational responsibility for a particular activity covered by a release, and who are accountable for their stewardship of that activity to ministers, and through them to Parliament; and who are in a similar position to those ministers described above
  • the top departmental or agency officials with ultimate responsibility for formulating, developing, maintaining, monitoring or implementing that policy
  • other departmental or agency officials who have been assigned the specific responsibility to brief ministers or chief executives about the statistics in question (such as special advisers, policy advisers, analysts)
  • departmental press officers responsible for managing ministers’ interface with the media with respect to the policy or statistics in question (plus any immediate ancillary staff who support the above)
