This made several recommendations, including to make data more granular and timely through greater use of large scale datasets. The government fully supported those recommendations and has since provided the ONS with £25m to implement them, which led to improvements such as use of VAT data in National Accounts estimates, and the publication of monthly GDP.</p><p> </p><p>Subsequently, at Spending Review 2021, the government funded ONS to undertake a further ambitious programme of improvements to its suite of economic statistics. This includes introducing scanner data into price statistics and further upgrades to the granularity of business statistics through greater use of administrative data.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 08/01/2024 15:00:02 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies
