Statistics topics for comment

We seek views on major changes to our statistical publications, in line with the National Statistics Code of Practice and on other statistics issues.


Open

We are currently seeking your views on the following topics:

Prison population projections
Prison population projections are being revised during 2009 and 2010, and the public is invited to comment on the methods used for the projections.

Court statistics (quarterly)
User feedback is welcomed on the addition of a new table showing the average waiting time between a committal or the lodging of an appeal and the start of the substantive Crown Court hearing, broken down by type of case.

Consultation on new compendia publication on reoffending statistics
We are consulting on our plans for a new compendia publication on reoffending to meet user requests, which are not covered by the existing National Statistics. Comments are invited from all users of Ministry of Justice statistics.

Ministry of Justice statistics in 2009/10 and consultation on 2010/11 statistics work plan
In line with the code of practice for official statistics, we are consulting on our statistical work plan for 2010/11. Comments are invited from all users of Ministry of Justice Statistics.

Closed

We have received your views on the following topics:

Judicial and court statistics and court statistics quarterly
Proposed changes to the annual judicial and court statistics and quarterly court statistics.

Mortgage and landlord possession statistics
Changes to the National Statistics on possession actions following responses from users.

Licence recall and return to custody statistics
A consultation on proposals to publish a full range of statistics on licence recalls and returns to custody on a regular basis.

Consultation on offender management statistics
A consultation on proposals to improve the presentation and publication of offender management statistics, including licence recalls and returns to custody.

The consultation on proposed changes to offender management statistics has now closed. 

We received a limited but welcoming response. We will, therefore, be introducing the changes we put forward and these are reflected in the publication schedule for 2010.

We received some other proposals which we will consider when developing our statistical work plan for 2010/11. We will consult with users on this work plan in the period December 2009 to February 2010.
