Eurostat: Office for National Statistics

Asked by Alex BurghartConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 7 January 2025UIN 21345

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the press release entitled New partnership between statistical authorities of the UK and the EU, published by the Office for National Statistics on 9 October 2024, if he will publish the agreement between the Office for National Statistics and Eurostat.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

On 9 October 2024, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Eurostat signed an agreement on statistical cooperation. This arrangement is provided for under Article 730 of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement. The publication of the text is a matter for the UK Statistics Authority, which operates independently as a Non Ministerial Department. I refer the honourable gentleman to Parliamentary Question 13803.
