The phrase ‘pre-release access’ refers to the practice whereby official statistics in their final form, and any accompanying written commentary, are made available to an eligible person in advance of their publication. The rules and principles that govern pre-release access are featured within the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008.
