As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking how many people work in the division of the Office for National Statistics that is responsible for producing consumer price index and retail prices index figures; how many of these have agreed to relocate to Newport.(152711)
The London division responsible for producing consumer price index and retail prices index figures had a staff complement of 34. A number of staff are considering relocating, although final decisions are not required until after the summer. It is anticipated that the corresponding Newport team will include up to six people with experience of working on the CPI and RPI in London.
