Press statements

You asked

Would you please provide all reactive or "if asked" press statements prepared by your press office for possible issue to the media between March 16th 2015 and July 16th 2015?

Could these be provided in full and in the format they were prepared in a list. Where possible could the dates they were prepared be given.

We said

Please find the attached 'Lines to Take' download that were in place for the period 16 March 2015 to 16 July 2016.

Please note, at ONS we produce these lines on a weekly basis and they are included as part of our weekly media brief to the executive leadership. As we are independent of government and present only the data, we do not create 'if pressed' lines. In some instance we do provide additional briefing and specific question and answers, though, so you will find these included too.
