The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 1 May 2025 to Question 48561 on Data, Statistics and Research on Sex and Gender Independent Review, if he will ask the (a) National Statistician and (b) Chief Executive of UK Statistics Authority to publish a response to the recommendations once they have considered the report.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), including the Office for National Statistics (ONS), is a Non Ministerial Department and is accountable to the UK Parliament, the Scottish Parliament, the Sennedd and the Northern Ireland Executive.

As an independent statutory body, it is a matter for the UKSA and the ONS as to how they choose to respond to the independent review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender that was published by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology on 19 March 2025.
