Changes to this release date

1. Previous date

   10 June 2020 9:30am

   Reason for change

   The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak presents a significant challenge to the UK, and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) is working to ensure that the UK has the vital information needed to respond to the impact of this pandemic on our economy and society. During this pandemic, we are working hard with UK business to get the information we need to produce high quality statistics to inform decision making. But inevitably the disruption caused by the pandemic means we need a little extra time to quality assure some of our data before publication. Therefore, we are announcing a short delay to our GDP and Retail sales publication dates for the next few months to allow us additional time for data processing and quality assurance to ensure the highest possible level of accuracy. Please see our statement on how we are responding to the coronavirus illness. https://www.ons.gov.uk/news/statementsandletters/covid19andtheproductionofstatistics

   Reason for change

   As the demand increases for statistics and data to measure the impact of the COVID19 pandemic, we have had to change data gathering and release practices, focusing efforts on priority analysis and statistics. As such we have re-scheduled this release. Please see our statement on how we are responding to the coronavirus illness.
