Mr. Cash: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what basis the Office for National Statistics defines current spending for
repairs and maintenance on roads as capital expenditure. [222370]
Mr. Timms: [holding answer 17 March 2005]: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National
Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. William Cash, dated 24 March 2005:
As National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking on what basis the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) defines current spending for repairs and maintenance of roads as capital expenditure. (222370)
ONS classifies all current spending for repairs and maintenance of roads as current expenditure and none as capital expenditure. The
basis for classifying ordinary maintenance and repairs as current expenditure is from the 1995 European System of Accounts,
paragraph 3.108.
ONS found that it had incorrectly used a combination of two approaches for recording road maintenance expenditure in the public
sector current budget, resulting in double counting. This has now been corrected. This correction was initially, on
18 February, described as a reclassification from current to capital expenditure. However, in a News Release of
28 February, accompanying a technical note of the revision it was pointed out that the revision was most easily explained as
removing depreciation from both the current budget and net investment. It was not a conceptual reclassification of repair and
maintenance expenditure.

Virginia Bottomley: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what rules and guidelines cover the recent modifications to the Office of

[177267]
Ruth Kelly: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mrs. Virginia Bottomley, dated 8 June 2004:
As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your parliamentary question on modifications to the ONS Environmental
Accounts report. (177267)
The information on greenhouse gas emissions from transport were not removed from the ONS Environmental Accounts report published on
20 May 2004. The report was never altered from the version originally prepared by professional statisticians within ONS, and
is publicly available on the National Statistics website.
The focus of the accompanying News Release changed during drafting, as there were some unresolved statistical concerns over the
reconciliation of road freight emissions figures using alternative definitions. Given these concerns, it was decided that it would
not be appropriate for the News Release to focus upon transport emissions as had been intended. This decision was taken
independently by senior Government statisticians, as a matter of professional judgement.
The circumstances surrounding this decision are explained in a letter that I sent to David Rowlands (Permanent Secretary of the
Department for Transport) on 28 May. This letter is available on the website of the Statistics Commission at: http://
www.statscom.org.uk/media pdfs/correspondence/ letter0189.pdf
The ONS operates in accordance with the "Framework for National Statistics" and follows the principles and procedures set out in the
"National Statistics Code of Practice" and its supporting "Protocols". One of the key principles within the "Code of Practice"
states that National Statistics will be "fit for purpose and of high quality". Our concerns about the reconciliation of the
emissions data led us to make the professional judgement that these measures, while of publishable quality, were not fit for the
purpose of being the focus of a high-profile news release.
"The Framework for National Statistics" also states that National Statistics must "be produced and presented without political
interference". The Environmental Accounts report was produced and released fully in accordance with this principle.
