Official statistics bearing the National Statistics logo are produced to high professional standards set out in the National Statistics Code of Practice and supporting protocols. They undergo regular quality assurance reviews to ensure that they meet customer needs. They are produced free from political interference.
The main statistics outputs produced by the Forestry Commission were approved for inclusion in National Statistics from August 2001. National Statistics outputs include UK Timber Statistics (last published in August 2005), Forestry Facts & Figures (September 2005) and this publication, Forestry Statistics (November 2005). Further information on how we are implementing the National Statistics Code of Practice and supporting protocols is available in the Forestry Commission's Statement of Compliance, available from our website (www.forestry.gov.uk/statistics).
