Dear Mr Byrne,

thank you for your emails 4 June and 9 February.

ONS is currently free from political control, and has the status of a
non-ministerial department with a non-executive board. This has been our
status since our independence from the Treasury in 2007.

For further details on the status of ONS please consult the "about us" page
on our website http://www.ons.gov.uk/about/who-we-are/i...

Yours Sincerely,

Nicola Shearman
