ONS previously held a consultation to seek users’ views on the proposal to remove monthly estimates of total new orders and export new orders from the Turnover and Orders in Production and Services Industries publication, and to stop collecting source data by removing the relevant questions from the Monthly Business Survey questionnaire. The response to this consultation (46 Kb Pdf) is now available on our website.
