Protocol 2 Practice 6 of the Code of Practice for Official Statistics provides for the name and contact details of the responsible statistician to be set out in statistical reports.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has told us that it does not include the names and contact details of the responsible statistician in its statistical reports on Tuberculosis in Cattle, for security reasons.

The Authority has confirmed that in these specific circumstances it is acceptable, instead, to provide a generic email address and telephone number.
