Dear Lead Official for Statistics, 

Exemption from practice T3.7 for all the Probation Board for Northern Ireland’s statistical releases for security reasons

 Thank you for contacting my team about exempting the Probation Board for Northern Ireland 

from practice T3.7 of the Code of Practice of Statistics, which requires the name and contact details of the lead statistician to be included in published statistics. I am happy to confirm exemption from this practice in the Code for security reasons. In these circumstances, it is acceptable to provide a generic email and telephone number. 

 I am copying this letter to Siobhan Carey, CBE, Chief Executive and Registrar General NISRA and 

Ruth Fulton, Head of NISRA Statistical Support Branch. 

 Yours sincerely  

 

Ed Humpherson 

Director General for Regulation
