SCHEDULERules and principles for pre-release access – wholly Scottish devolved official statistics

Scope

1.

(1)

The rules and principles in this Schedule apply to official statistics in their final form prior to publication–

(a)

in respect of which a request is made to the UK Statistics Authority under section 12(1) of the Act (assessment for designation as National Statistics);

(b)

insofar as the person responsible is under a duty under section 13 of the Act (to continue to comply with the Code of Practice) in respect of designated National Statistics; or

(c)

which are re-assessed under section 14(1) of the Act.

(2)

Nothing in this Order prevents statistics in their final form from being released to any individual directly responsible for their printing and production if they are only used for those purposes.
