Annex D   Data sources

D.1  This annex provides details of sources of data in all the tables, charts and graphs in the Autumn Statement. In addition it includes some details of sources for data included in the text where for reasons of space it has not been possible to footnote those sources.

D.2  This annex ensures that the Treasury meets the standards set out by the UK Statistics Authority to comply with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007. In particular, this document aims to meet two of the requirements of the UK Statistics Authority's Code of Practice for Official Statistics:

•  to clearly distinguish between outturn data that are official statistics, and outturn estimates that are not published as official statistics.1 Examples of estimates that are not official statistics include, for instance, economic estimates calculated by the Treasury, which are constructed using assumptions, or judgements, or results of economic analyses that have a material effect on the resulting estimates;

  for outturn data that are official statistics,, to show where the source data and further information on those statistics can be found, ensuring that all the official statistics used in the Autumn Statement are robust and are published in an orderly and pre-announced manner. Where possible, sources are shown that are National Statistics.2

D.3  Full details of sources are only provided for outturn data up to 2010-11. Data for the 2011-12 year are a mixture of provisional outturn for the year to date, estimates and projections. Data for future years are forecasts. All of these projections and forecasts are outside the domain of official statistics, as are the estimates of the impacts of government measures or policy decisions, in that these are estimated, rather than measured or compiled using statistical processes.

D.4  Time series for data that are shown with Office of National Statistics (ONS) source codes can be downloaded from the ONS website at: www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/tsdintro.asp.

Brent crude oil averaged $80 in 2010. If the oil price remains at its current November level for the remainder of the year, the average price of Brent oil in 2011 would be $112. This would represent a 40 per cent increase compared with 2010.
