Dear Mr Humpherson 

I am writing as joint Senior Statistician in the Department for Infrastructure on behalf of and with the approval of the Minister for the Department.  

In accordance with Section 12(1) of the Statistics and Registration Act 2007, I would be grateful if the Office for Statistics Regulation can carry out an independent review or assessment of the following official statistics to determine if these official statistics comply with the standards of the Code of Practice and can be designated as National Statistics (and thus labelled as accredited official statistics):  

Public Transport Statistics Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland Road Network and Condition Statistics 

The provisional regulatory work programme has these scheduled to commence in 2024/25. We look forward to working with the Office for Statistics Regulation on this matter. 

Yours sincerely 

Regina McGeown 

DfI Senior Statistician (joint)
