asked the Minister for the Civil Service, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, North-East on 10 November 1980, Official Report, c. 3, if he has yet completed his review of the Government's statistical services; and if he will make a statement.

Ministers are now considering a wide range of proposals arising from the scrutiny of their statistical services. They are consulting staff and other interests as appropriate. I shall report to the House as soon as this process is completed.
