Office for National Statistics (ONS)

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is a UK Government Agency formed in April 1996 by the merger of the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys (OPCS). It was created to meet the need for greater coherence, improved presentation and easier public access to government statistics.
