Question by Joanne McCartney

At last MQ you I asked you if you would sign up to the Code of Practice for Official Statistics Conduct. You said you would consider it – have you and will you agree to sign up?

Answer by Boris Johnson (1st Term)

The GLA is not formally covered by the UK Statistics Authority's Code of Practice since it is not a central Government department producing statistics already designated as national statistics. As such I do not think it appropriate for the GLA to sign up to the Authority’s Code.
