The Insolvency
Service has today (Monday 26 July 2010) launched an exercise
seeking the views of stakeholders and others who use Official
Statistics, such as the “Quarterly insolvency statistics”, it
produces.
The aim of the Insolvency Service’ user engagement exercise is to
ensure the scope, presentation and dissemination of the statistics
meets the requirements and needs of users, a key principal within
the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.
Commenting on the exercise Stephen Speed, Chief Executive of The
Insolvency Service, said:
“It is important to us as an organisation that we produce
statistics which are both informative and easy to interpret. I
hope that users of our Official Statistics will take this
opportunity to let us know how they can be improved.”
