HC Deb 24 February 1997 vol 291 c19W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if executive agencies, non-departmental public bodies and the Government's statistical services have shared a common approach to rounding. [15837]

Mrs. Angela Knight

It can not be said that there has been any explicit sharing of a common approach to rounding. There is a description of good practice on page 37 of the second edition of "Plain Figures", recently published by The Stationery Office, a copy of which is available in the House of Commons Library. In many respects, the approach taken depends inevitably on the context.
