ONS: UK data scheduling changes planned from Jan 2017
The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) released a notification of planned changes on its website Thursday.
The ONS explained: “ONS will therefore create new 'theme days' for related statistics to be released together. This will allow ONS to present a more coherent and consistent picture of UK economic activity, thereby better supporting public discussion about the UK economy.”
