In accordance with Section 12(1) of the Statistics and Registration Act 2007, I would be grateful if your Assessment Team can assess the following publication against the Code of Practice for Statistics for National Statistics designation:

The provisional timetable for assessments has this scheduled to take place in November 2020. We look forward to working with the assessment team on this matter.
Yours sincerely,
