The list below shows those individuals who receive access in advance of publication for briefing purposes to Official Statistics on the COVID-19 Cost Tracker 2023. The officials on this list are either involved in the production of briefing for ministers or are regularly called upon to give direct advice to ministers to enable them to comment on the figures shortly after their publication. The list includes individuals from the Treasury. Pre-release access arrangements are in line with The Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008. Pre-release access for briefing purposes is allowed no earlier than 24 hours prior to publication. Direct access to this data is minimised and those with this access ensure that the information is not passed on to anyone who does not have an operational need to see it in advance of publication. The detailed arrangements for this are in annex C of the Treasury’s Pre-Release Statement of Compliance. A further number of people will have access because they are involved in compilation and quality assurance of the data, or for other operational reasons, including placing the statistical releases on the website. An audit trail is maintained of all those who have pre-release access to the data, and for what purpose.
