Data

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.

Changes to this release date

  • Previous date:
    4 December 2020 09:30
    Reason for change:
    The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presents a significant challenge. We are working with UK businesses to get the information we need to produce high quality statistics to inform decision-making. Unfortunately, the disruption caused by the pandemic means we need extra time to quality assure some of our data before publication. Therefore, we are announcing a delay to our E-commerce and ICT activity 2019 publication date, to allow us additional time for data processing and quality assurance, to ensure the highest possible level of accuracy.
