Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to update the Government Social Research Publication Protocol, which was last revised in 2022.

The Government Social Research (GSR) publication protocol is reviewed on a regular basis and changes are made as required.

The protocol was developed by the GSR in collaboration with the Government Analysis Function and the Office for Statistics Regulation. The guidance is consistent with the Code of Practice for Statistics which is statutory. The protocol is reviewed each time it is recirculated, which happens on change of administration or roughly annually, with small or more significant changes made as needed.
