Dear Ed,  

Thank you for your letter of 21 March regarding the publication of your report on the review of our Labour Force Survey (LFS) based Labour Market statistics.  

We welcome the review and are committed to learning lessons from our work to reintroduce the LFS as we continue towards our transition to the Transformed Labour Survey (TLFS). As we set out in our letter to you of 1 March  we intend to both respond to your recommendations and provide a fuller update on labour market statistics covering both the LFS and TLFS on 26 April. 

In the meantime, may we thank your teams for their work on this report and their engagement with our teams on it.  

Yours sincerely    

Alex Lambert, Director of Social Surveys, Office for National Statistics
Liz McKeown, Director of Economic Statistics Production and Analysis, Office for National Statistics
